I am a mother with a son who is now 16yrs of age.He has rarely gone out of the house since the first yr of Senior School,has not attended school for 4yrs.Got help for him via doctors/CAMHS,but 3yrs on nothing seems to be changing,he is 16 and due to leave "school" this year,he has no future,no education,will certainly not go out to do anything.He has seen 3 phsycologists,1st one mentioned Autistic Spectrum ,2nd one mentioned Asperges,3rd one mentioned Social Phobia/Anxiety.Looked all these up on internet,Asperges symptoms relates to his behaviour and Social Phobia/Anxiety also relates to his behaviour.Been reading peoples storys on this site and i think,that is the same as my son...I have tried the "professionals" help but to no success.PLEASE give me advice if you can :) x

Hi! :) What country are you in? Autism spectrum children can often have above average intelligence and do well at school with the right help, but I guess with social phobia the challenge is to get him to school? You may need to take him to someone specialising in these, psychologists often specialise in particular areas :)

Never heard of CBT,so no..I am at a loss where to go from here because he has reached adult age.16.
He has seen 3 phycologists,he hides in his room when people come round to help him and speaks through the door,he hates noise and visitors calling.
As it is his school leaving year,What is he going to do? Get a job? Go to college? Go to jobcentre? no to all of these ::(:
