Is Anyone Dealing With An 18 Year Old Son Who Will Graduate From High School Soon? How Are His Emotions?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son has Aspergers. He will graduate June 1. He is easily upset. I know he is nervous about the end of his normal routine and the future. How are you dealing with it? Any suggestions?

My son just turned 18 Monday, and he will be graduating on Tuesday. The special needs program he is in at school has been very helpful in Zack's transition to his new school. He even got to tour the school he will be attending next year, and his teachers have been helping prep him for the change with discussions and activities. We have also assured Zack that his summer will be the same it always has been. That makes him feel comfortable. I would see if your sons school could help you out as well.
