For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.He needs to start doing things which enhance his self-esteem, but first I think he should see a therapist..perhaps he is suffering depression. I am not sure what his brother is suffering from - have never heard of ASD. But a therapist would be able to get to the root of the problem and give you and your son some advice. He is not going to be able to do it alone - especially as he is in denial he even has a problem. If he won't see a therapist, perhaps you could see one and ask their advice...
Also, there should be plenty of books out there on how to boost self esteem or go to www.google.com and search for self esteem or confidence and see if you canfind any useful advice there.
Good luck. Remember, the first steps are the hardest.
If that doesn't appeal to him, maggie's suggestion of drama class is good, or anything else that involves him taking part in something as part of a group. What are his interests?
It must be very difficult for you to see your son like this, cause all parents want nothing but the best for their kids..but trust me, even the kids want nothing but the best for themselves. Therefore. if he is want to do something, but is just not able to do it...he needs help, PROFESSIONAL help and your SUPPORT. PLease do take him to a therapist..it could be just low self esteem or it could be something more serious..but a professional will be able to help him and also help you help him!!!! And soon youmay realise it is simple...but not without able help!!! Also please do consult a professional for your youngest son as well...Cause these little things come in the way of child's confidence, education and carrier...and therefore the whole life ...
Do encourage him with small talks...try talking to him a lot..nice things, school, frinds, your experiences...talk a lot...do not force him to tlak..he will eventually. Tell him in your conversations that it is ok to be experiencing weired feeling or desires or thoughts...its normal and that he can talk about it. Cause you have to first also know what he is going through...let him tell...that is important. Do not ignore this.
I know someone, who has OCD. HIs parents ignored and hushed up things, not wanting to face it...and he went on for 22 years without help (thankfully he did well for himself)...till he got married and wife helped him get help....and things are great now!!!
THere is hope , lots of it, but you need to work at it!!!! Best of luck and keep smiling!!! $ yoiurself and kids
