[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, I know my son very well and I'm sure he will be devastated if we tell him. I worry he may get suicidal ( yes I may sound crazy). Maybe I need a psychologist to talk to about this.[/quote] PP here. I just saw this. OP, don't say anything unless there is a formal diagnosis, however, this is really concerning if he would be suicidal. You would definitely need to work closely with the psychologist. Being on the spectrum might explain the intensity of his anxiety. I find a lot of inspiration from young people like Rosie King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ95xlZeHo8 Figuring out his diagnosis (dyspraxia), helped this young man develop an app to help parents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnYomTJGu-w[/quote] Wouldn't this qualify as a formal diagnosis?[/quote]
