My youngest is 17. He struggles a lot with his Autism. It is now school Summer holidays and Im struggling to know what to do with him. He pretty much does nothing now, apart from lye on my bed during the day (that is no exaggeration, it is pretty much how he spends his days now)
As far as things go, for stuff to do in the house.....he has a couple of Games consoles he could play. He has a Nintendo DS he could play (he used to play these when younger). I have Full Sky Tv here.....Movies....sports etc, but he has never really been a fan of movies, apart from Chicken Run....which he used to watch over and over again.
I have tried to get him to go to Aquadome, Ice Skating, Ten Pin Bowling, Go Karting and other things....he doesnt want to go.
The only thing he does enjoy, is going for a drive in a car and going out for a walk (sometimes).
I dont have a car, so the rules that out....and the wether has been grim here this summer, for getting out for walks....but still we manage a couple of walks per week.
So, in a nutshell, that is how my son is. He has no friends, so has no one to pal about with. I just dont know what to do to help him have some nice times.
Does this all strike a bell with anyone? Has anyone here been thro this? Can anyone offer any help or hope?
