[quote=Anonymous]I have seen some tweens/teens or adults on the spectrum cling to their parents outside of home. They seem to be more emotionally (for emotional supports) and physically attached (eyes look for parents or touching) to their parents. Is there anything that parents can do our of love to help them gradually outgrow their needs of parents? I think it is a learning phase that I want to work on now. My tween son still attaches to me and sometimes asks me to stay next to his bed for a few minutes at night. He loves to hold my hands walking together outside, and I tell him other kids may laugh/tease at him seeing that. He lacks confidence, even teachers tell me that he needs many assurance that he is doing a great job. Is that all due to socially immature, lack of independence or lack of confidence behavior? Why is he always telling me that he misses me? I am with him almost 24/7 except he is at school. [/quote]
