Don't take his stuff

Quote From: pepsicola

I have an 18-year-old son with AS. He is in his senior year, and during the second quarter he stopped going to school. He got anxious about one particular assignment, and refuses to go. He also refuses to talk about it. I don't know what to do. Should I take away all of his stuff -- computer, tv, etc. -- until he agrees to go back to school, or should I let him decompress. It's been a couple of months. Also, we feel very isolated and helpless. Do others have support groups?
Don't take away all of his stuff, that will only make matters worse. There has got to be more going on than one particular assignment for him to leave school and never go back. Have you talked to the school?We have a support group at http://forums.delphiforums.com/asfamily/start
