My 8 year old son has recently been diagnosed with autism. I want to know how best to help him. One of my worries for him is that he doesn’t play with anyone at school and when he tries, he says he get ignored. He therefore plays alone. I wasn’t sure initially if it was because school was overwhelming so having some time to himself was a break but he’s now said he feels lonely which breaks my heart. Does anyone have any advice. Especially if there are any adults with ASD out there that could offer advice. I wonder if I’m looking at him with neuro typical eyes that I’m not best placed in knowing how best to him. I love him so much. I hate to see him sad.
