my nephew was just told by his tutor and in his iep that he could be borderline autistic and he cant learn anymore. he is 13 and i just dont see it. his grades are terrible and he wants to do well, and i think he can with attention from his mother(which he is lacking). how can i help him?
Thanks for the question.my experience says a borderline autistic can lead a normal life. But near and dears must take pains in teaching him various things. Instead of focusing on grades focus on his liking and try to develop it to the extent that it can be utilized for earning in later life. In this case lack of attention from mother, as said by you, may be the only factor causing bad grades. Which may be the sole cause for all the problems. Little extra love and encouragement shall help him.
