my 7 year old is really into playing games online but gets upset as he says nobody is playing with him, is there a online gaming community?
Well the obvious answer would be discord but discord has a 13+ age limit. And the nature and tone of the content can vary massively depending upon which discord server one goes on. Almost all social media has a 13+ age limit for creating accounts.
there may be a limited number of online social games aimed at younger users like club penguin, but that no longer exists. I’m not sure there’s much I can recommend here.
Reality is most kids either wait or lie about their age

Hi, he goes through spells. He is very emotional
Gaming communities from what I’ve seen tend to do a lot of autism ‘jokes’
There are lots. Im not sure how many I would recommend as suitable for a 7 year old though. Is he kind of precocious? Mature for his age?
