I know, love.... but this may just be a *blip* that he can get over..... no-one thought he would ever do so well, and he proved them all wrong with your help and determination.... is there anyone you can see who will provide YOU with the support you need to help David out the other side of this?

Would he go to the GP?... depression is common with autism/aspergers, as you know.

Love

i think he is depressed daff i noticed yesterday, when i noticed last year i took him to doctor who grunted all the way through and said he would refer him to the mental health team so will do that again, i think they promoted him too soon and it was too much , he has been out since last night, i await the call to say they have found him dead , i was looking in his bedroom for things that could harm himself with last night well must walk me babies now thanks daff and all xxx it really helps to ge it off ya chest

Oh Puss... chase the Mental Health referral team up... the older David gets, the less input you will be able to have, he needs to have it sorted now while you can push things, so that you all have the support necessary as he gets older.

I am sure the promotion was one of the things..... he would have felt the weight of the extra responsibility quite keenly, I think, as he is very conscientious.

Will he have gone to his friend's again?

Just one observation... it was about this time last year that he was quite bad, too, I wonder if there is something that is seasonal affecting him? I don't know if that can happen... I have to go out now, but will have a look when I get back... I know that a few years ago there was a lot of research going on about some people with Autistic spectrum disorder being affected by certain foods and chemicals in their diet... I THINK that is how the connection with autism and some forms of ADHD was made, but could be wrong.

Chin up...... let me know if there is anything I can do?

Love

Hi Puss

Sorry your David has lost his job, it's so hard as a mother when your chicks are having problems no matter what age they are.
Thoughts go with David.

Puss... did David leave his job of his own accord?? If he did, then it would indicate that there is something there which has brought up his anxieties... you mentioned that his boss said he would be happy to take David on again as he (David) is so conscientious?

I will go and try and find out more about the food thing now (have a problem with pc, on laptop now... but also had a plasterer in, so leccie has been going on and off all day!!)

Once he gets back and has a bath, he might feel ready to talk about it.

I'll check, but I also think you can refer David to the mental health team yourself... but not 100% on that.

I'll get back to you, and text or pm you later.....I went and looked for my mobile specially... it is charging up at the moment, lol!
Hang on in there... speak to you later,

Love

Daff xxxx
