[QUOTE="Steely, post: 113488, member: 3301"] [b]WOW[/b] Sara!!! You just completely made my day with your knowledge and experience with your son. Thank you for sharing that. I had no idea! I know difficult child has agorophobia due to many issues, some of which is compounded by being borderline AS - and it obviously now has moved into an actual fear of being alone in his room. He is anxious and becomes upset if he has to be outside of the living area now. Wow, it just helps so much to know someone else has gone through this. Sara, what finally motivated your child to break out of this himself? I feel like if I do not help him, he will not do it. I have to say the couch thing cannot be waited on because I need my space too. I am going to help him transition, one day at a time, and maybe try and have a little more empathy than I formerly did. He is supposed to start these classes next week. I am really worried! How he is suddenly going to transition from living on the couch to functioning in an outside world. I just have so many, many conflicting emotions about this. Fears of his future, anger that he is so horrible to me, empathy that he is so sad and lonely..............the list goes on and on. I am glad you guys can understand. I just want this fixed. And I want someone else besides me to feel a responsibility to help him transition into a functional adult. When you guys talk about services - what do you mean? He has already qualified for Texas rehab services, but the best they can do is provide things like vocational training and stuff. Are there other services that could help partner with him like a mentor or coach, and help him transition through these difficult teen years? To date I have found no social services like this in Texas. [/QUOTE]
