My son officially turns a teen March 2025 not only am I stuck on what to get him which isn't the point I'm making, the point I am is he's got no emotions facial and physically, nothing just blank. I'm not sure if it's hormonal or the fact we are all autistic and I've missed it from him because he's the only child out of four that shows no symptoms up until now he does have a few tics which is a problem because one is his eyes blink causing dry eyes. He barely speaks, barely shows emotions like cuddling, engaging in conversations he just sits blankly like he's some sort cardboard cut out. Christmas with him has been heartbreaking watching him show no interest, not s smile or a thank you cuddle just nothing.
I'm struggling as a parent to help whatever is happening, I've spoken to him asking if he's ok and he says yes, I try to talk to him but it's like talking to myself, there's no response. I'm of course worried as he looks depressed all the time yet he says he's not. Is he struggling because the rest of us are full on ADHD and autistic and it's to much or taking my time away from him because I'm all wrapped up with troubles with his little brother who is struggling in school. I'm not even sure what I want from typing this on here, I just need a place to talk who doesn't know me, my family brushes things off a lot which doesn't help, also any ideas what to get a teenage boys who have no interests in anything apart from his tablet 🙄.
