She’s recently started a part time Uni course but my OH takes and picks her up.

Am I right to be concerned? My OH says she’s comfortable there so no problem.

I worry she may never venture out. Advice anyone?
Worried mum

Is it that she's unable to leave the house or she prefers not to.

She prefers not to.

Is she able to go for shopping / gp appts etc?

Dd goes through periods like that, her asd causes depression and she cycles, when she's down she barely gets up

Pressed too soon.

She has had specialist counselling and now lives at university, it's been enabling because I'm not there to pick up the pieces. It's worrying but we are now a few months in

My ASD DD is pretty similar. She goes to Uni and comes home, the end.

I too worry if this is it but have to remind myself at least I know where she is!

Sorry, but I do understand the frustration too.

My DD19 is very similar.
Was very happy over lockdown, never bored and always either chilling or keeping herself busy with this & that.

Not sure what I can do either, or if I should even be doing anything.
