He likes playing video & board games. And loves to draw. I have a hard time getting him to gobout and try new things to meet people. His brother his left for college and now it's just him by himself. I mean my husband and ibare there, but it's not the same. He has no friends and he's been pretty lonely and down on himself lately
Does he have activities he likes? Clubs? Sports? Community programs? Get him involved is my best advice. Xx
This sounds so familiar. In high school, our ASD son was in band and theater groups, and that gave him a community of friends. But since graduating from college, he hasn't been able to make new friends, and all his old friends have moved on. We're working to get him involved in volunteering, but it's tough because most people his age are working full-time jobs, so the people he'd meet aren't in his age group at all. Maybe you could help him find some sort of volunteer opportunity?
His older brother is away at college. But he is still in highschool (junior year). And just struggling socially. He's lonely but won't put himself out there to make friends.
Ís he away at college?
