My ASD son is in a mainstream school and whilst he gets on with the kids in class, breaks and dinner times are are completely different matter.
He isn't socialising and doesn't seem to want to. I don't know if that desire to mix will ever come.
My DP and I are worried, but DP feels that because I say "he's always been like that" (which he has), that I'm accepting it and not trying to change it. It's beginning to drive a wedge between us - he makes me feel guilty.
Over the years, I've taken him to playgroups, met up with friends who have children, but he still pretty much keeps himself to himself. We live in Switzerland and English-speaking clubs (catering for SN) aren't easy to come by.
Should I be forcing the issue with DS or not pressure him? I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance for any words.
