He is having a very difficult time socially and with communication, even at home. He is soft spoken and has become very reluctant to talk. He has no friends and when he does have the opportunity he does not want to talk in person. He just wants to text. But because he has not had any friends he does not know how to act and usually ends up losing any potential friends. He has become very depressed and feels very lonely. Does anyone know if there are any high schools that can assist with social anxiety, relationships and communication skills? It would need to be one that deals with high functioning individuals. I would really appreciate any feedback.

Facebook in his case is used to role-play, which means from 1 to dozens of others (5years old or 50 years old) are taking turns posting on the page. This is now a full blown addiction. We have managed it in these ways...password protect the wi-fi in our home, revoked his library card where he can use the computers, password protect all computers (and all accounts on each computer such as the guest account) so I can control the access, we bought a safe to lock the remote controls and the DS's and kindle. TV has access to many apps like youtube and the DSs have access to internet and the kindle can download a FB app. Obviously he does not have a Smart phone. It has limited his ability to interact in the social media world. While he is angry about it, he is much more regulated and is able to have a "real" life. The Facebook contacts resulted in Skype calls with strangers and then giving out his phone number so he was able to speak with them even when he didn't have internet access. Many of these dramatic on-lliners would write about cutting themselves and various states of depression and considerations for suicide. Some of these kids would develop on-line relationships with him telling him they love him, etc. It may sound as if I wasn't on top of this but I assure you I was. I read all his mail and FB pages but then I discovered he was messaging which is different than posting and I had no access to and instead of emailing he would use chat on his gmail account. And when I closed his FB he just opened a new gmail and a new FB....when I thought he was reading on his kindle he had downloaded an app. And, when he gave up on FB and gave up on email chat he then went to chat room sites. He used friends Ipads and phones, borrowed phones to make a phone call and would sneak a peak/post. He is so addicted it took all his energy and time to try to sneak and hide. Things are better but we are stuck. 16 year olds need access to technology. Our world is only increasing in technology and it does change/light up places in the brain the same way drugs do. So - what to do now...I don't really know. We are treating this like any other addiction in which there are options to limit access or abstain. Abstaining is where we are at because attempts to limit only made him want it more. Best of luck and hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288277754158553794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-32397446452536413892013-05-23T20:24:22.781-07:002013-05-23T20:24:22.781-07:00Showing these different lists of schools in very i...Showing these different lists of schools in very important for us to know if where to choose for the right school that fits to a standard forms and programs that would surely help student's to finish their study.

Before he left home Facebook was a constant issue and it remains now. I worked with our in home therapist and my son on a written agreement for Facebook usage that we both signed and he promptly went against. When I attempt to enforce the consequence that was agreed upon he becomes verbally violent and throws things around the room, recently breaking the front window of are rented townhouse. There are of course a multitude of dynamics playing out here from resentment of being placed in residential placement, to being back home, to getting back into school, being a 13 year old etc. I am concerned that no matter what expectations and agreements with consequences we establish right now that he is not capable at this time of self regulating his Facebook behavior and that keeping use of this at all as an option is setting him up for failure. With his behavior my only recourse would be to have the internet turned off to our home and not allowing him any use of my cell phone. Would this be an appropriate response based on the totality of the things that are struggles right now, or would turning off the internet cause an even more negative response to me and methods of problem solving? I know initially his response would be terrible but I wonder if having that option gone would open him up to making progress in other areas that are stagnant because of this huge issue. The easy answer to any problem is to take it away and I understand that and try to avoid that as much as possible. With that being said, this issue is so extreme that it truly seems like something that has to be removed so he can make and see progress in other areas so he can move forward all the way around.<br /> <br />Any feedback is greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-43289929242508446202012-08-20T15:25:53.560-07:002012-08-20T15:25:53.560-07:00Any elementary schools in Orange County,CA,that yo...Any elementary schools in Orange County,CA,that you could recommend?

There's lots of activities (horse back riding, skiing, skating, karate, swimming, wood work projects, making their own maple syrup, snow shoeing, pets in each house, yoga, wall climbing, and lots more). If your child has a particular interest (and what Aspergers kid doesn't) they'll find a way to work it in to the treatment. They also have alternative treatments. There's residential, day, and in between options. Only down side I see is that the school is vegetarian which limits dietary options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-69599961709882478212012-02-01T07:25:18.463-08:002012-02-01T07:25:18.463-08:00Another boarding school for Aspergers/NLD/social d...Another boarding school for Aspergers/NLD/social difficulties is Talisman Academy in North Carolina.
