Problems at school disrupting class / coping with bereavement

Difficult as bereavement can be difficult to cope with when autistic. Either one ignores and carries on, which I’m guilty of, or one tries to get ones head around it, which can be very hard as there is often no logic. I suspect he is internalising and that’s why he’s getting angry and disruptive. My personal suggestion based on my own experiences would be that he needs to talk, whether to a human, a dog or just by blogging but he needs to get out what he’s feeling or he won’t be able to move on. 

The basic way to look at it is that he has to get used to the new sense of normality and the one thing most of us do not like is change. Hence talking will hopefully enable him to get used to the change but the talking needs to be on his terms and in his way. 

How you go about sorting out the best method for him I don’t know and I really wish I did, but if you want to bounce ideas please do.
