Heart Break

So sad, one of my Asperger's clients, who is in junior high, just experienced his first heart break.

It was so hard to watch him break down in tears, hiding his head into his mother's shoulder, and watching his protective mom's reaction to her son's first broken heart.

Social situations are extremely difficult for those with Asperger's and then to add a little heart break to it, just heart wrenching. They try so hard to fit in and navigate their way in this complex social world that is so not like their Asperger world. Then to be able to properly experience and express emotion in a socially appropriate way is huge.

I hope his heart heals soon.
