very depressed 11 yo boy w/ autism

  Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic

Hello,

I have a problem. My son who is 11 has autism, bipolar and anxiety has told me and my mom he wants to die becasue he is suffering from autism. This past weekend he scared my mom alot with his death talk and Monday evening he asked me to stab him because he was suffering He has major problems with aggression, impulse control and is a very difficult child

I have heard from many therapists that kids with autism are not accepted by therapists due to the lack of "theory of mind"       and low insight. Is that true? He seems to have insight.

I am just so scared for him and sad for him

any advice would be welcome,

Angee
