My Autistic son ,works, started uni through work and drives,but like so many kids today spends all his spare time alone on his pc in his room.He has no friends and he is in denial ,he asked to be retested then changed his mind,we believe to prevent him from hearing again that he has Autism. He is now 20 and it is harder than ever to talk to him as he just grunts his answer back and have to ask him to repeat it which, again frustrates him.When listening to him play his pc his clarity in speech is frightening and so I ask the question "is it just myself and my wife" we got him to join a club where other Autistic people meet and he hated that and never went back.if only he would embrace his autism I think he would be a much happier boy,if there any advice out there I would appreciate anything and Thanks in advance.possible specialist that could maybe make him understand about himself. Sorry for rambling on ,just a worried and concerned Dad grasping for any positives
Thank you once again
Perhaps it might feel useful doing this post within parents/carers discussion of this community as a way to try and get even more ideas from others
