Our young man is 15. We have been seeing new changes in his behaviour (changes that are not to his or our benefit). Does anyone know how/if his existing autism traits are being affected by his teenage hormones (or is this/could this just be normal teenage behaviour changes. We are concerned that the two are colliding and concerned that this may cause his already autistic traits to be added too, and become (more) cemented into his life and concerned that we are not handling this correctly to avoid this.
We don't have access to any professional help and have been winging it for a long time now. We have read books and have done lots of online training.
I haven't included possible changes in his brain development.
