| I know that drugs can't be the true answer; this is just a wishful thinking thing that there could be a way to make him better, at least for the short term. I've been struggling with him for over 30 years and I'm burned out. He needs therapy or something to rid him of the bullying "ghosts" and he ne... |

He thinks it's mercury poisoning and allergy to nickel. But how do you check this? a blood test?
Thanks for the idea here. |

| My son is in such a deep crisis but still not bad enough to be hospitalized. His mental health symptoms are so crippling that no one can get through to him. Yet, he's not a danger to himself or others and so I can't make him go to the hospital to get stabilized. His reason for being on ssi and ss is... |

| This is exactly what my son feels, but mostly he just doesn't go out. He'll empty the trash late at night when nobody is out. The same checking his mail. Does anyone know how to overcome it? He's looking for one on one contacts and for people to come to him or to take him out in carefully prepared a... |

| My son has severe agoraphobia and Asperger's. What I'd like to know is how do you get past agoraphobia to find help? There are groups and meet-ups but they require you to go out to a place where there will be several people. He's been looking for a seeing eye person to help him get out. What have an... |

Wow, that hit it right on the head. Communication is sooooo hard. To get him to stop obsessing over a perceived slight seems to be impossible.
Ofter after hours of discussion there seems to be some break-through but it doesn't last. |

(Sorry, I meant this for the discussion and unknowinly sent it privately.)
Whew!! ! Are you sure that's true? I don't believe that all religions are like that and Islam is not, either. |

| Yes, I know I can never get anyone to do anything, only myself. It's hard to know what's enabling and what might be helpful. I do know the "storms" are very hard on me and I really want to eliminate them entirely. Maybe I can't do that but it would be beneficial to my own health if they would stop. |

Not a teenager but only recently diagnosed with decades of problems including agoraphobia.
But your assessments do seem logical. Thank you. Anyone else? |

| Thank you for clarifying for me what I have experienced. I am seeing that there may be nothing I can do to calm him because he doesn't want anything, not touch or food or milk or anything but to keep on for hours about how he has been wronged. When no amount of apologizing and declaring love and car... |

| How can a NT calm an aspie down or do we have to ride out the storm even if it last hours of ranting and lecturing and faultfinding? |
