My 15yo DS has Aspergers and anxiety. After two years of on and off school refusal we tried tutoring instead and now DS says he's too mentally ill to go to the sessions or do homework and stays in bed most of the time. I really don't know what to do. He's very clever but looks like he will fail his GCSEs and I may also be fined for non attendance. He attends camhs but won't really engage with them and says what they want to hear. Nothing works, if he doesn't want to go he simply won't go and after two years of this I am defeated. My job is becoming impossible and I'm getting constant calls from all the agencies involved. Becoming angry just increases his anxiety and trying to sympathise ensures he doesn't try to go in. I am a single parent.
