I have received (I guess a standard form) regarding my son who is Asperger high performing .
He finds communication with strangers so difficult and has never used or answered a phone .
he has a EHCP and does so well at his special school
I am 59 a widow I know he will one day have to deal with these things
please has anyone had an experience similar
my feelings keep changing yes I will be appointee or no let him try with my help .
thank you in advance for the thoughts

Hi @martin1961. This is a really tough one and is such a personal decision. Have you asked him how he feels and whether he feels ready?Community Manager
