These are the times, I wish I had comforting words to give my 18 year old son who has autisum.
He trys so hard to fit in with the teenagers at his school but un fortunetly lacks in the social skills. He thinks by dressing like them it will make a difference.
All he wants is a good friend to hang with and when someone does pay attention it never last for long and he feels he messed up and is down for weeks.
I try hard to explain to him hes young yet and has all the time in the world, just have fun hang with his friends at school soon those days will be gone.
I understand fully hes need to be accepted by others, and being in a class for develpmentaly chanlleged is hard, hes not as bad as some. He just needs that extra help in understanding.
I wish I could do something that would make it easyier for hiim but I cant . All I can do is be there when he needs to talk.
