DS2 is almost 21 and has just graduated with a first. He has always been a solitary boy with lots of anxieties and low self esteem.
At school he was offered the opportunity to undergo an autism assessment but he chose to decline saying he would rather not know.
He has been on a fairly even keel through uni, worked hard , went on placement but didn’t socialise much. He chose not to go away from home although we thought this was be good for his development.
Since he got word of his degree he has been working on his CV and looking for jobs to apply for. In his field there are still plenty of jobs.
My big worry is that in the past few days he has virtually stopped eating. He says he is hungry but can’t eat. He has told me that he weighs 10 stone. He is 6 foot tall so this pretty light.
Last week he said he would like to speak to a therapist but the next day he had changed his mind.
I have no idea how to support him with his eating. I don’t want to nag but should I be saying or doing anything?
Sorry this is such an essay. I am very worried and would appreciate any advice.
