[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid on the spectrum with ADHD. They take a SSRI and stimulant. I also take those medications. Your description isn’t raising any red flags for me that he needs a SSRI. He sounds like a regular ADHD teen to me. Teen boys, especially ones that are neurodiverse, don’t do a lot of out of the house socializing. I assume he is playing video games online with friends. My teen’s emotional energy is depleted by the end of the week. So while they only have a couple of friends (who are also neurodivergent) they also just want to be alone to focus on their special interests most weekends. Obviously, if the anxiety or depression were interfering with day to life that would be different. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. They should be talking to a psychologist weekly if you think social anxiety is starting to impact them and/or to help with some of the difficulties of dealing with ADHD. Sounds like you have a great kid![/quote]
