What you need to do is sit your son down and let him know that no matter what has happened in the past, you love him and you will be there for him... he only needs to ask for your help. Tell him that he can tell you anything, that you wont judge him regardless of what he says and that between you both, you will help him fight the demons that are giving him these thoughts... below is a little poem i wrote... the words may help you find the strength to help your son... get some guidance from a counsellor... they will know what to do... Angel blessings.

Angelic Inspiration
When darkness comes and tries its best
To make your spirits low
Call on your Angels to give you strength
To tell the darkness “No”
Stay strong willed and determined
Be brave, stand up and fight
Your Angels are there to help you
Turn the darkness into light
They’re always there beside you
Just ask and they will hear
They’ll guide you through your darkest hours
There is no need to fear
Let their love and inspiration
Flow throughout your veins, so pure
As the darkness fades, you will know in your heart
There is hope for you once more
Hi Lygra,
so far some good advice. tell him that you love him and dont want to lose him.
Are there are any support groups for young adults with autism spectrum problems in your area that may help him to make new friends and get the support from people his own age? Have a look online. Try some charities for this too.
Those people from his past are just that - the past. try and help him find ways to look to the future.
can he enrol at a local college for some courses? maybe redo adult gcse's or a creative course. If its something he is interested in, he'll hopefully stick to it. Help him make a life plan. (on a large piece of paper, write at top what his goal is, like getting a job as a computer engineer. then start at the bottom and write every single step he has to do do to achieve that. Once he has achieved each step he can cross it off and rise up the ladder).
EG: Get a job as a computer engineer
6). Organise CV for computer engineer course and start applying for jobs
5). Find what experience that relevent to job and offer to do some work placements
4). Pass courses
3). Get onto course and study
2.B). If dont have relevent qualifications, apply to do necessary courses to get onto computer course
2.a). If already have relevent Qualifications, apply for course
1). Look at course at college and find out what qualifications needed to get on course
Hope this helps

Hi Jacky / Lygra
In answer to your question, yes, I did write the poem. It is one of many poems I have written to help not only myself, but to help others. I started writing poems as a way of release when my son was posted to Iraq and then Afghanistan... please feel free to use the words, if they bring you comfort, then they are worth writing.... below is another which my young daughter has now memorised to heart...
Prayer for Loved Ones
Guardian Angels
Up above
Please watch over
The ones I love
Keep them safe
And free from harm
Fill their world
With peace and calm
Protect them with
Your guiding light
Help them to choose
A path that’s right
In times of need
Please make them strong
Help them face
Whatever is wrong
If they need comfort
Please shower them with love
Let them know
It’s sent from above
Watch over them
Watch over me
Please help make our lives
Fun and care free
So, Dearest Angels
Before I close my eyes and rest
From my heart I thank you
Good night, God Bless

Journey through life
Before we’re born we forge a path
For when our journey through this life begins
Along our path we plan lessons to learn
So our souls may grow deep within
The day we are born and the day we will die
Has been carved in stone and set
So we must live our lives as we have planned
Until our destinies are met
During our life we may stray from our path
Fear not for help is at hand
Our guardian angels will guide us back
To continue our life path as planned
Closing our eyes as we travel our path
We’ll find our goal is not easy to see
Keep them wide open for our Angels send signs
To guide us as we journey
There’ll be highs and lows as we travel our path,
Many trials and tribulations
As long as we trust our Angel guides
We will reach our ultimate destination
Angels are there to protect our souls
To teach us compassion and love as they steer
But each of us is born with our own free will
In which our Angels will not interfere
So let love and laughter fill our worlds
As we each travel our life paths as planned
We should not fear, for we are never alone
Thanks to our Angels who stay close at hand
Guardian Angels
Close your eyes and drift away
To a tranquil peaceful place
Let this haven bring you calm
And a smile upon your face
For in this peaceful haven
Your guardian angels are there
They’ve been waiting all your life
To show you that they care
Your guardian angels will guide you
Through the challenges of life you face
But your free will determines
The outcome of your fate
They cannot interfere
With the life plan mapped for you
All they can do is try and guide
And help to see you through
They will wrap their wings around you
When you really need some love
For they’ve been sent from God himself
From the heaven’s up above
If you need help from your angels
You only need to ask
They’ll be there to do all they can
To guide you through each task
No matter how much you are hurting
Your angels will ease the pain
And guide you back on your life path
Then your life will be better again
There are so many fabulous stories
Where people’s lives have been changed
Saved from fates much worth than death
Thanks to the help their angels arranged
I know my guardian angels
Will always watch over me
Helping me down my own life’s path
Wherever that may be
Thank you Angels, God Bless
