Adolescence and puberty question

[Guest guest]

I have a very HF son going into Jr. High and am a little

concerned about the whole social situation. How have

others dealt with this? Like many of our kids, mine is much

more immature than typical. We've started to notice a lot

of girls interested in him. I'm not sure what to do about

this because he's very naive (and, not interested in girls).

I don't want to scare him about this, but I also don't want

him taken advantage of, or some other negative situation

occurring.

I would imagine this whole Jr. High/High school thing is

worrisome for most parents with autistic kids. I know as

his world grows larger my worries seem to increase as

well.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

I have not read this, yet, but a good friend with a very HF high school son

highly recommended this book to me, " Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum " ,

by Chantal Sicile-Kira. I ordered it from Amazon. Again, I have not read a

word of it, yet, but maybe someone else on this might have an opinion to

share.
