    Depressed Aspie son

    Hi, I posted on here about a month ago as my son was suicidal & wouldn't engage with treatment. Just an update to say he's been on Citalopram 20mgs for 24 days now and his mood has lifted some what. He is now eating proper meals ( he refused food for days) but is having problems with his sleep...

    How stubborn are you?

    Definitely yes. My son has Aspergers & if he's made his mind up about something he just digs his heels in & is unmovable!

    Son left suicide note on facebook

    My son is 22 & has Aspergers (is in denial )although he knows he's different. At the present time I don't feel he would engage with a therapist. He finds it very difficult to vocalise his feelings & emotions. I agree that it would be of benefit to see a professional psychiatrist or therapist
