Parent of Autistic child

Ho everyone 

                      Not sure what to say, My son is awaiting a diagnosis for Autism. He has just become self aware, he is lonely and he said 

     "I make new friends, then after a few days, there is a wall that gets bigger"

What he means is , he makes new friends then he doesnt see them again. 

He said he is lonely, and friendless. He is exceptionally close to both his sister and me. 

He said he doesn't know how to act or what to say, he is afraid to ask to join in with children, he is scared they'll say no. 

I am sure that watching paranorman  yesterday, triggered something inside. He was upset and trying not to cry. 

As a parent, this is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever heard him say. He is 12.  There are a lot of changes going on.

Thank you for reading. I really appreciate it.
