Hi there,
My son was diagnosed with Asperger's this year. He is a teen. Although, he is being treated for his anxiety and depression, he is finding that school is too much. We keep encouraging him as he is very smart. Is there anything that has helped with depression and anxiety? We are just looking for more ideas.
Thanks,

School was too much for me too. I am told I`m very smart too, but I just see myself as average. Music helped me with depression, but I still have anxiety a little bit but it helps with that too. I don`t take meds anymore because I don`t like them and they didn`t do anything for me. Are u new here? If so, welcome to WP!

Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for the input. Yes, we are new here. We just enrolled him in music lessons, which he will start this Friday. He generally loves anything that is artistic. Also, he loves to cook. I think maybe just focusing on that will help.
However, I really get concerned about his anxiety and depression. I wish there was something that would make it go away for him.
Cheryl

You`re welcome.
Well I don`t play an instrument but lots of people with AS love to do that and excel in it.
I found a certain artist that lifted my spirits and I`m sure u know who I`m talking about by my name and signature.
I still have anxiety though. But the music helps me.
I really hope u find something for your son to stop the depression and anxiety. I`m glad he`s enrolled in music and hopefully cooking,
