[quote=Anonymous]Wow, amazing advice above (getting him out, keeping him busy). Make him get out with you, entice him with lunch or something, do local and low-key things you don't have to plan in advance. Volunteer work (not via computer, needs to be outside the home) would be icing on the cake. If I could go back in time, that's how I would have wished my parents would have helped me. I preferred to live with my parents or family until my 30s due to anxiety - one thing that helped a lot was moving to my sister's for a year before living alone. It got me in the mindset of independence. She was active (socially and physically) so seeing that helped. But it was nice to have someone to watch tv with or have chats in the evening, less isolating. In summary, living with friends might not sound that great to your son, but if he has a *mature* friend, or older relative/family friend with a spare room that may be food for thought. [/quote]
