HELP!!! Teenage son with Aspergers

2 replies

Brief history; son was diagnosed at 11 with AS. He has a very padantic (sp) speech method and spends his days in his room on a computer, anything else is just a waste of time in his opinion He is now 17 and thinks he should be now allowed to behave as an adult and I should not be running his life. Every night it is a battle to get him too go to sleep until he says so and it is very upsetting for me. He is 'rude' to me in the aspie way and doesnt respect me at all. Does anyone know where I can get help with him?? I live in quite a remote area and there are no support groups etc. As anyone with an AS child will also know, they are all very different so Im not sure even talking to other parents will help. Any advice would be great and if you need any more info, please ask me. Thanks xx

Hi, ilovechristmas, please come over to the SN boards there are a lot of us on there with AS children. I'm sorry i can't give you any advice as my dd's are a lot younger (both on the autistic spectrum). Hopefully someone else can offer some good advice .
