Lonely adult son with high functioning autism

Acdo

Hi

My adult son has high functioning autism. He is very lonely and has no friends. He is reluctant to communicate on the web so would find it hard to meet groups of people this way. I gave looked for appropriate social groups through the autistic society in our area and they do not exist. Any ideas, we live in the South Yorkshire area?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions made.

  • May I suggest that you search online for what they call the One Stop Shops for Autism as here in Scotland we have them poping up all over the shop and they have been very vital for many families who have autism. However may I suggest you try an ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis)approach to your intervention with your son as my mum did years ago and it really helped me to get out of my comfort zone. Anyways I hope your son gets the help he needs and things get better in the future.
