Hey everyone,
I'm a 20 year old university student and I have a 9 year old brother with autism. Lately, he's been having a really tough time at school. He says he finds it hard to communicate with others and has been skipping school a lot. At first, I didn't think it was too serious, but now it's starting to really worry me. Since I'm away at university, I can't always be there for him and my parents are also struggling to help. He’s spending most of his time in his room and becoming less social.
Does anyone have any recommendations for counseling or technology that could help my brother? I’ve heard about social robots like Moxie for children with autism, but I'm unsure if they actually work and they’re pretty expensive. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
