Maintaining friendships 12 year old son

This is my first post 

I’m looking for advise for my son age 12 

Im heartbroken for him where friendships are concerned. 

12 months ago we moved areas to try and help him with a fresh start but now the friends he has made have ditched him and are saying that he’s spiteful and horrible to them.  I just don’t understand what he’s doing so wrong when he’s with them.
He stands by that he’s not doing anything wrong because he obviously can’t see his mistakes. I don’t know how to help him. 

 Any advise appreciated thank you Pray tone2

  • I know :( I worded it wrong 

    I should of said ... I don’t know what to do when I try a new explain it doesn’t help as he doesn’t understand that he’s done anything wrong 

  • thats ok i once was your son so  i had his issues  but didnt know.  My neohew is autistic as well and he joyed a club which he is obsessed  with the subject ( radio controlled aircraft ). The members of teh club all talk RC stuff to each other and my nephew joins in.

    So get him into a club where he is very  very enthusiastic  whatever it is.  "dungeons and dragons" is a common one. 

    autistics  do make friends just in a very different way.   

    Oh online gaming is another way

  • talk to the school see if u can get this speeded up a bit. Something has happened 

  • Your right I totally agree 

    because of lockdown he’s only been in his new school a very short amount of time but his behaviour has been poor so they have all ready said something is defiantly happening with him 

    He hasn’t been diagnosed (his dad has adhd and ASD diagnosed) 

    things are that bad at the moment I don’t think he will go back to school I’m looking into getting him seen privately 

  • i think your son nneds to be looked at in case he is not controlling his emotions when with his friends. I dont think he would tell u anything or everything that is happening.  Maybe talk to the school teachers to see if they know more.

    has he been seen already.........  i mean has he been diagnosed  as autistic ?
