ds 10 and dd 11 both have asd and have no friends, both haven’t had any all the way through school apart from in the very first years for ds but he now doesn’t speak to them, I’ve tried to encourage them to make friends but both aren’t interested, I’ve been told by people if they aren’t interested then to leave them to it but obviously with the 6 weeks holiday it’s a long time to have no other interaction with children, of course I take them out but they aren’t the type to speak to kids when out and otherwise they are at home all day when in the holidays usually kids would be out playing with friends or meeting up with friends. It wasn’t so bad when they was young but it’s getting harder as they get older. Has anyone else had children that have been the same but gone on to make friends at secondary school? I worry about secondary school particularly for ds and think it would be nice if he made even 1 or 2 friends he could meet up with in the holidays. Is there anything I can do to encourage friends or should I just leave it?
