My client would like to access a psychologist, to assist him with emotional regulation, and to manage his anxiety and depression. Curtis prefers to see therapists out of the home, so in a clinic or park. I feel that the hiking group would be good for Curtis as it will give him the chance to express himself without feeling like he is being watched or judged. 

Curtis tells me he was admitted into hospital 2 years ago for psychosis and been gang stroked with his twin brother. He found out in the beginning of this year he has Autism. Curtis gets stressed easily and he feels that he does not understand this world. Curtis also has anxiety which stops him forming doing things.  
Curtis uses the computer a lot and that is where he finds a lot of information which is not good for him. He spends too much time in his room away for everyone else. Curtis doesn't like to leave the house cause the way he looks he tells himself all the time. 
Early warning signs in me. Examples: anxiety, more than three sad days, letting hygiene slip, not playing, slowed down/sped up, irrational/paranoid/delusional thoughts/verbiage, isolating, impulsive behaviours where money concerned. 

When things are breaking down, Curtis begins to feel overtired/oversensitive, he has irrational responses, he experiences voices, delusional thoughts and becomes preoccupied, can’t stop thinking about other things.  
some of his triggers are Internet, Numbers, Big crowds/busy environments.
