Adult ASD ADHD daughter…

[TeaTimeTina]

DD loves writing and spends most days in her room. She refuses point blank to walk the dog unless her Dad goes with her. This now happens twice a week.

She hates going out shopping in any form, doesn’t like walking far and prefers eating indoors. No hobbies as such except writing and gaming.

How else can I persuade her to leave her bedroom and go out? Should I, or leave her be as my OH says?

Anyone advice?

How old is she @TeaTimeTina?

I think I'd be trying to persuade her to leave the house more, but I don't know how you'd do that. (Sorry - that's not much help.) How old is she? Can you insist that she gets a job or volunteers somewhere (doesn't have to include interacting with people)? She could do that one day a week, perhaps. (Volunteering has worked for other adults with ASD who I know who now are able to work.)

When my son stopped going out he was diagnosed with depression .it was lots of work but I managed eventually to get him to go for short car rides no getting out of the car. Then I might say I need help carrying this heavy package into the building and he would help. His carer also did the same .

Have you managed to pursue de her out of her room at all @TeaTimeTina?

Easier said than done I know
