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

  • Ahh I used to love playing with my Action Man figures. I had a huge collection and boy did we have some adventures!

    We travelled to far off worlds, to the desert, went deep sea diving and occasionally Barbie would come out of nowhere and do their hair - my sister used to suddenly appear with her dolls.

    I remember I used to sort my Action Man figures, put them in an order, all the army soldiers together... I've always had a keen interest in organising things, I now realise this is a trait of autism.

    I don't know of any forums sorry I can't be any more help.
