Realisation of Difference

Morning xx I'm looking for any advice or links to books or anything really related to helping my son through a very difficult period of realisation of his differences between himself and his friends , they have all grown up together and are all now 8 , and over the last few months he has come to realise that there are many many things he cannot do with them , they are free and independent children who love to run and adventure and he cannot do this .. he has made so much progress with socialisation and we remind him all the time how amazing he is but he really struggles with joining in with various things they do and has started to become very upset and agitated and naturally their patience with him is wearing a little thin and they are starting to break away x

  • For both him and your own insight, "Martian in the Playground - understanding the schoolchild with Asperger's syndrome" by Clare Sainsbury is still very useful, despite being published in 2000 (Lucky Duck Publishing ISBN  1 873 942 08 7  this code helps bookshops and libraries to find it).
