  • My son has mild ASD he finds it hard to talk to chidren of his own age and is often bullied by the boys in his class because he is "different." Often caught betwwen a rock and a hard place a few weeks back busrt into tears and threatened to kill himself. Took it up with school they are now "keeping an eye on him." They now tell me that he has tantrums if asked to do anything out of his comfort zone, they fear that he will be bullied even more when he goes to secondary school and that he needs help. anybody got any advice. Please
