Teenage anxiety.

[nickster27]

My son is14 always misbehaved at school has eating issues and so many things. Where we are at now he has been excluded from school 2 times ended up In a place in school with children with autism etc. He hates it and recently been having panic attacks not been to school in 6 weeks omg so much more to this but any ideas or anyone else been thru thisx

Hello @Nickster. Can I ask, does your son have any diagnosis of any sort? Has he been assessed? I think disruptive behaviour can be a sign of stress/anxiety due to no coping in a situation (school, job, relationships). Is he back at school now? Does he get any help in this school area with autistic pupils?

My son has autism. As a small child, he would become very disruptive through not understanding what was expected of him/not “getting” the rules of just being around others. He was always happier working in one to one or small groups. He enjoyed and NEEDED planned breaks or downtime within his timetable in order to avoid meltdowns.

I do hope you’re not dealing with this alone?
