[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713833, member: 1550"] I think he sounds like classic high functioning autism, untreated. Social anxiety is a big part of untreated autism (even treated) and depression can be part of it too because the person does not know why he is different or what to do about it. I have a high functioning autistic spectrum son doing very well at 23, much more social now and working...self sufficient. In his own place. A happy young man. But he would be much like your son if he had not received intervetions and aid. It is too bad your son wont go for, say, a neuro psycholigical evaluation (a psychologist with additional training in thr brain). These are top notch diagnosticians! There are good services for adults with all sorts if disabilities. This can be the difference between a good productive life and a sad lonely life. Perhaps you need to tell Son he either goes for a neuro psycholigical evaluation and the help the neuropsychologist recommends or that he can no longer live in your house. Harsh I know, but he is going nowhere right now. He needs a hard push to get diagnosrd and helped. Otherwise this could be his life. And yours. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
