context - my son is 16, neuro diverse and suffers with anxiety
Hi everyone, I’m worried about my son (16). We were shopping in Primark yesterday and walked passed some mannequins wearing boxer shorts- my son asked why there was a ‘bulge’ and I answered ‘to make it look realistic’. He laughed and said, ‘if it were me, there would be no bulge, my penis is so small’. I said ‘I’m sure it’s perfectly normal’, he went quiet and mumbled something like ‘not normal for me’.
I then changed the subject, but thinking back, remembering when he was a baby I did notice this part of him was small (at least compared to his older brother).
He’s very self conscious and becoming interested in girls. He’s really lacking in confidence anyway, but I don’t know how to help him?
I’m sure this doesn’t warrant a visit to the GP, or should I get him checked out (he would obviously be very embarrassed). Does anyone have any advice? Should I be addressing this? If so, how?
