Struggling to talk about emotions

2 replies

My son (11) hates talking about his emotions, he always has. He will shut me down, get angry and upset, and refuse to speak about how he's feeling. He is neurodivergent and has a diagnosis of Asd, Adhd and Odd. Is it common for children with these diagnoses to react that way when it comes to talking about emotions?

My dd is autistic, and talks to me about emotions. I think it is more an 11 year old thing tbh.

He's always been the same. It's not a new thing, so it's not his age, surely?
