Title says it all...

Everyday i go in his room and bring down dirty plates etc.
So not case of snooping ... and what i saw was NOT hidden .

2yrs ago he 'came out' as gay... last year announced on 'waiting list' for 'sex change' etc....

These tablets are NOT prescribed ... but ARE prescription only drugs.
ESTROFEM (hormones for feminisation from male to female)
Spironolactone for fluid retention (also worrys me in another way as hes lost weight and i often find uneaten food in room HIDDEN ... so i have concerns of eating disorder.

At 18 he was 'passed on ' from 'paediatrics' to 'Adult services ' for his ADHD/ Aspergers ... and at 20... he is still yet to see anyone fron 'adult services'

I am in West Wilts and would appreciate the guidance that i know mumsnetters will provide

thanks

p.s posting this in loads of relavent places incase someone can help

How do you know they're not prescription? He's an adult. He may have been to the doctor to discuss his development.

Not turfing you off here but I bet if you Google you'll find parent support forums online for people who are dealing with similar situations. A friend of mine is, and I know a few trans people. It's uncommon but not unheard of. There will be places you and he can go to get advice from people who have been through the same.

Getting sex hormones prescribed requires that the person undergoes really quite lengthy assessments over a period of time. GPs would not prescribe these kind of meds, even local mental health services would just do an initial assessment then would refer on to a specialist centre (there are only a few in the country) to instigate treatment
If you were unaware of any of this then it may well be that he has bought these meds over the internet. This is very concerning. What does he say when you talk to him about this
