Newly diagnosed ASD-level 1 teen-how to help with social skills

[Anonymous]

Agree about a part time job, a great idea. It’s hard to delineate why exactly, but the most contented weeks of my ASD teen son’s life in the last year were this summer working 30 or so hours a week, mostly outside in the blistering sun and heat. So so content. Great mood throughout. He found he liked the actual work but also being busy, achieving something, pride in a job well done — and it is social.

In the same boat, recently diagnosed Summer 2023 at 14. Currently 16 yo, completed Sophmore year and made academic progress with updated support plan and now Junior in high school. Super smart but have had challenges finding an Executive Function coach and other good support resources on social and other challenges. In Baltimore area. Had his first job this past summer and was at a nursery and loved it until was laid off in mid summer as business slowed down. Know of any good Exec Function coaches or other resources, am all ears and appreciate any suggestions. Musically gifted also across the board on drums, guitar, piano. College bound and into sciences. Love to find or start a group for similar ND teens and open to ideas
Is there any support groups anyone is aware of for recently diagnosed high functional 15-18 Yo's?
