DS (who is autistic) has just started secondary school. Because we moved in Year 6, nobody he knows from his old school has gone to the same one as him, which I was a little bit worried about but thought he won't be the only one in that position so hopefully will be OK. Obviously being autistic is a factor and I think being in a whole different social environment maybe he doesn't quite know what's expected of him and can definitely be 'quirky', but generally he's always been confident in himself, quite sociable and has a good sense of humour so he kind of gets along in most situations.
What's worrying me is that two weeks in he says he doesn't really like anyone in his year, some of the kids are 'ok' but he seems to have no interest really in trying to befriend anyone and I'm just worried he's going to miss the boat a bit. Or is it too early to think like that? He knows a few kids from a club outside school and seems to gravitate towards them in breaktime but they're in the two years above. They're nice boys but I'm also thinking there may be pitfalls there as they're obviously at a slightly more mature stage, and also DS can be quite easily led and I'm definitely seeing more attitude from him since he started.
What should I do - contact his form tutor? Is it too early to worry?
