My 12 year old son is an aspie..Up until now I’ve been able to foster relationships for him with other kids. He was always well liked and had a nice group of friends.
Now that he’s getting older I can’t be so involved in his social life. He’s starting to isolate himself and isn’t initiating any hang outs with other kids. I’m worried that he is loosing his friends. I know he likes having friends but he’s becoming very socially awkward. Has anybody had any success with SSRI’s like Zoloft to help with social anxiety? He’s tried therapy and hates the idea of it.
The last thing I want to do is put him on medication for fear that he won’t ever be able to get off of them but I don’t want to see him become antisocial.
Any advice would be appreciated!
