Hi
I have a 12 year old son who is really struggling in mainstream school with his peers. He copes much better socially on line so Im looking for some like minded kids he could play online with. He really loves Minecraft, Fortnite and rocket league. we,d love to hear from anyone who would like an online buddy! TIA
I’m new to all this as have only just joined, so I’m not sure how it works either, obv can’t put personal details on here as is open to all I think, but can call National Autistic Society tomorrow and see if there is a way they can sort details or can think of a way, I’m a complete technophobe

even that might not be enough
There would have to be an activity that can only be done in group that he likes, like RPGs.
Hi! Yes he’s still struggling at school with friendships etc, I have no idea how it all works or how to link them up though??? Any ideas?
Yes he loves roblox thankyou for replying I’m new to all this
Hi I was just wondering if your child was still looking to make friends to play fortnight and rocket league, my son is also autistic and adhd and is 12 nearly 13, he is also struggling socially in school and feels lonely and that he has no friends and cannot relate to people, dispite being a lovely child. I am looking to find him like minded friends he can connect to.
thanks

my 12 year old daughter is the same although has not been able to attend school for 3 weeks years now. This post is exactly what I would have said but added in roblox !
My 9 year old son is really struggling for friends atm, he plays on xbox one and ps4, he plays fortnite, fifa, rocket league gang beasts.
I know he would love to find some online gamers to play with.
Please let me know if you still are looking for gaming friends.

Hi my son has recently been diagnosed with autism hes 12 in 2 weeks he loves fortnite he would be happy to accept your son on there xxx
Hi my 12 year old son is also struggling and he would like friends to play fortnite and minecraft with. I don't let him use social media so I thought this might be a good way to approach it. Then I saw your post. We would like to become online buddies!
Hi, I have an 11 yo son also in a similar situation. He absolutely loves Minecraft and sure he would love to have somebody else to play with
Hi I'm interested, I'm 14 im a girl and I like to play Minecraft and games online. I like to listen to music and I don't have many friends I struggle with school alot.
Hi, thanks for your reply. He’s not really into Roblox. It’s Minecraft and Fortnite at the moment.
Hi. Does he play Roblox? My 11yo girl loves Adopt Me.
@NAS21478 if you havent already, see if there are any local Autism / Neurodiverse friendship groups on FB that you can join yourself as his parent. One I am part of is Autism by the sea (Worthing) im sure you will find other parents who have kids with Neurodiverse traits or minds with the same special interest as your Son. Good luck
