Feeling alone with everything

Tillie26

Hello everyone, I feel like I am alone, does anyone else have a child that is in complete denial about what is going on? Refuses to listen that he might possibly have high functioning autism, he is 12 hasn’t attended school for over a year due to severe anxiety and not coping socially, he has stopped going out the door, it just makes me so upset and sad when he says he is okay when I know deep down he is finding things hard, he struggles to talk about his emotions.

no one is helping him cope with his feelings
