[quote=Anonymous]This is OP and thanks for the feedback. I guess my question is what can I do to help him or if I should do anything. Should I point out where he is not helping himself, model for him, have conversations with him in general? 
His previous diagnosis was social pragmatic disorder and that’s changed (upgraded?) to ASD. He has the stereotypical hallmarks-not expressing interest or curiosity in others, limited interests, flat affect, some rigidity, hyperfocus on fairness, getting stuck when something doesn’t go his way, etc. 
For the person who said he is not ready for college-that is some of my fear both academically (he’s super smart so it’s the executive functioning piece) and emotionally. We are using this year to try to figure this out and see how he does managing his on his own and also if he able to step outside his comfort zone socially (and by comfort zone I mean his chair where he sits and is on screens all the times he is not playing his sport or doing school work!) at least a little bit.
