15yo Aspergers don crumbling with anxiety

[Thisisit777]

School work related (now the level is hotting up). He says he can’t focus / can’t think / is teary often and anxious - he can’t switch off to any work that’s due.

There’s NO pressure from us / it seems internal 😫

He is of average intelligence. His anxiety is prevalent now though and he’s down.

Went to GP - a CAHMS referral being made.

How can I help tho? Resources I can read ? Anyone been in this place?

Please help this tired momma do well by her boy!

Son 😫

You might find help on the Secondary board (there is a GCSEs thread and a y10 one) or the SN chat. There is at least one poster on the secondary board with a KS4 ASD child.

I only have limited experience of ASD. But would it help to sit down and agree a 'plan' with him so it doesn't feel so overwhelming? Something that is achievable?
e.g
90mins after school and 3hrs total at the weekend.
x hrs a day for y days over Christmas break
review again first week back?

Or if still y10 then way less than that, but maybe do revision cards?
