Please say some prayers for my 13 year old. He is very depressed about a lot of things and needs our prayers. Thank you! Heidi

Hello Heidi... Josh is the same age as my son and also has an ASD...Do you see a specialist on a regular basis regarding Josh's needs? Adolescence is hard enough for Neuro Typical teenagers, never mind teens with Autism. James can become very anxious at times and it's certainly a worrying time.. Much love and hugs, to Josh and you all...Hugs x

Not really a praying person but sending positive thoughts.

Also, sending positive thoughts. I have one with Aspergers so I understand how tough it can be on him and you. Take care and hoping Josh feels better soon.

Sending your son some positive thoughts. It's worrying, as a parent, to watch our kids struggle. Hugs for you, mom. Hopefully you are hooked up with a therapist or pdoc. Trust me, once they turn 18, there isn't a thing you can do to help, as they are of age, and make their own decisions. Hugs..x
