Isolated teenager

NAS67088

Hi this is my first post so hopefuly I've done this right! My 15 year old son was diagnosed with aspergers last year, he struggles socially and finds it difficult to talk to people. I cant get him to attend any clubs etc. He has told us he feels lonely. Can anyone give me some advice thank you.

  • Greetings. I see the word "Teenager", and of late offer this advice most of all: Do not talk to Your Teenager as if they were a Child - Treat them exactly as You would an Adult, taking into account what You know about them of course. They appreciate this (apparently) & it often opens up avenues for exploring and connecting and whatnot. Also, of course,  be careful and wary, always.
