3 days after my 13 year old son has been diagnosed

If he's been diagnosed with Asperger's, buy Tony Attwood's http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Complete-Guide-Aspergers-Syndrome/dp/1843106698/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

And just leave it lying around the house, somewhere where he'll see it.

And if he's not been diagnosed with Asperger's, I'm sure there are other similar books one could get.

And, don't try to force him to talk about it.

We, on the spectrum, often process emotion very differently to neurotypicals - rather than talking about it, or 'externalising', we 'internalise'.

So, his reaction is fine, and normal, for someone on the spectrum.

Also, does he have free access to the internet?

He may well, in time, seek more information by himself.

Give him the time, and the where-with-all to do so, unpressured, and on his own terms.
