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

  • Your son's interest is a form of scholarship. He might start a group himself, have a show and display them and write a companion booklet to go with it. He can take some actions to engage others who may be looking for action figure pals farther away from where he lives physically. Maybe go to comic-con. Maybe he can start a blog. With your support and with a bit of creative thinking he can finds ways to find others who share his passions.
