My DS(13) has ADHD and severe dyslexia. He has struggled with friendships generally but this has improved in the last year as he has started ADHD meds.
He has a friendship with a girl which is frankly batshit. She is 'going out' with another boy in the group but is playing them off against each other. They are on call whenever he's allowed to be on call, if they meet-up then she is calling him as soon as he leaves.
She seems to have a lot more freedom than DS so has suggested going into our city to hang out - hard no from us. DS respects this and sometimes I feel like he is glad to be rescued from situations.
He gets incredibly upset when he upsets her. She calls him very upset as her cousin recently died and I could hear it's a lot for DS to deal with, he was suggesting she speak to her parents.
What do I do here? Try and keep him busy and let it play out or put some firmer boundaries in place? I thought about asking him to reduce the amount of contact voluntarily and see how he does with that?
Anyone with sage advice please?
