Action figure groups online

NAS90347

Hi, i have a 12 year old son with autism and he loves action figures and would talk about this all day if he could. He has 2 friends but they have started to drift away with children with similar interests and my son has taken this quite badly, and is experiencing overwhelming lonliness at the moment. He feels he cant be himself and none of the lads he knows are aware of his love for figures and he will pretend to be into sport and football to fit in. I wondered if anyone knew of any action figures groups online or anything you think might of interest to him where he might meet other people similar to him with their love for action figures? Thanks x

  • I'm afraid I do not know of any online Action figure groups, so cannot help you with that.

    However, as a mother, I would be wary of allowing a child of your son's age to 'socialise' online, unless it was supervised by you or another appropriate adult. Even if you could find an online group that catered to his age and interests, you would have no way of knowing if the people he was communicating with were genuine, or unsavoury adults posing as youngsters, in order to groom children.
