My elder sister is terminally ill in France and I need to reach out to her son - my nephew. (I and my nephew are resident in the UK)
On the surface he seems disinterested - totally detached in fact but my sister had told me many years ago that he is on the spectrum and has Aspbergers.
I could do with some advice on how to interact with him - he's 40 years old but we have not ever been close. His mum needs him but he has shown little emotion or interest yet I sense he is fighting against his feelings . To complicate matters he has just become a father for the first time and so has other priorities. His mum would love to see the baby before she dies but I don't know how to approach him.
I am just becoming familiar with the condition but am very uneducated in the symptoms or on how to deal with it. Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks...
