My 9 year old son has just been diagnosed and could really do with some friends

Stacey

Hi everyone 

I've just joined after my sons recent diagnosis. 

I could really do with some advice.

My son is 9 and has become very isolated,  he only had a few friends but they no longer bother with him.

He is no longer attending mainstream school, im currently waiting for his educational health care plan to be done so we can get him into a more specialist school.

In the meantime he has become so sad, he plays on both xbox and ps4 but no longer has any online friends Cry

I'm trying to help get him some online friends, does anyone know of anything?

Or are there anyone who has a child who would like to add him on xbox or ps4, he could really do with some friends. 

Makes me so sad to see him so sad!

Please help!

Stacey

    If that's the case make sure any friends he does get are worth having. Be a guiding force for him behind the scenes to make sure that happens.  I will tell you this when alot of autistic people make friends they are fiercely loyal and superb friends but if they get let down by the other person its devastating even more so than in normal circumstances. He will enrich other deserving peoples lives as they will his so make sure they are worth having for him.
