Girlfriends

My 17 year old son has just been dumped by his first love. He is devastated!! Have told him not to get too involved but I know that he will and this will happen many more times. I don't know how to protect him or prepare him for adult life. He is still in school and doing ok but it's a constant effort keeping him grounded! i feel an emotional mess.

  • That hes achieved something many of us would rip our right arm off for isnt going to be making him any happier now. Ive noticed amongst aquantances on the spectrum that relationship failure can be taken either as "ohwell; NEXT" or "the skys falling!! its the end of the world"...and Ive yet to figure out how to help moderate either response...but time in a comfortable routine seems to recenter a person eventually...does he have an Interest he can take cover in?

    And can he share his relationship establishing doctrines?
