Feeling isolated!!

NAS86409

Hi 

My son is 9 and diagnosed with austim since 4 . The last few weeks he has felt isolated , he has been getting upset you ask why he says I don't know.  He cries and says he feels different. We are pretty close we talk daily about how we feel if it's been a good day or not.  Just don't know what's up . He said school is fine.

  • My son is 15, with autism late diagnosis. It's heart breaking to see them go through this, but as other's have suggested, he could be at an age where he is starting to become aware that his peers treat him differently and probably doesn't understand why. School can be such a difficult place for them at that age. At least he can talk to you about it, which is a good thing. Is he in Mainstream or Specialist Provision?
