Autism and drugs

Please don’t unless it comes from a qualified medical professional. As someone with a teen with autism I e been told they don’t medicate anymore and offer therapy instead (uk).

Thanks. I didn’t know they gave meds for Autism only heard for ADHD.
What would you recommend for a teen with extreme anxiety blocking him learning gcse?

My sons sen school withdrew him this year from his GCSES due to high level of anxiety hence making a referral to cahms and still waiting! They reduced demands and he was with an external provider one day a week. What have school suggested?

Oh no! Is your son happier they withdrew him? Will he still do them before he leaves?
School claim he is fine as he is no longer getting into negative situations with peers, but I can see he is a shell of himself and masking. Almost like he pretends to be invisible just to get through the school day.
Eg If a teacher asks him a question to get him engaging in class, he freezes and comes home really upset at being chosen.
All while other children are upset as they had their hand up.
I went to a school talk on the gcses and his breathing and sweating went sky high, which has made me really worried seeing him like that. He said he was fine, but I witnessed all these physical symptoms!
Thats what made me think of the LTheanine as I tried it to calm down my anxiety at meetings, which worked.
I am just so upset and so worried for him.
