ADHD & social anxiety.

[LesleyDy]

My 18 year old son ADHD is suffering with social anxiety. How can I help him with it? Went to a party last night within 1.5 hrs texting to be picked up. Had plans for Uni but now doesn’t want to go. Finding it difficult to talk to people, avoids coming out of room when people come over. When I try talking to him about it he says he just hates small talk.

Sorry I have no ideas, as my 13 yo ds is the same! He runs upstairs when the doorbell goes and never wants to meet friends at the weekend. Hoping someone will come along with some suggestions soon.

Going through similar, unfortunately. I wish I knew what to suggest. DD has started therapy recently and I wasn’t even sure until the day if I’d be able to get her through the door, but she did go. Answering the telephone or door is usually a no go. It’s all very difficult I know.
