Who else apart from CAMHs can help? ASD teen won’t go out

Ds (15) won’t go out at all anymore. From age 13 he was only going out very very rarely now it’s not at all. He has ASD (possible burnout?)

CAMHS waiting list is months if not years. Is there any other service that can help? We’ve only found some local support groups but he won’t go. Has anyone been through similar ?

Check if his school has a MHST attached. They might be able to offer something
