Dear Paulina,
It seems like your friend kind of feels he is different. Maby you could give him the articles and ask him what he thinks about them, and he will recognize it himself.
Also i would appreciate it if someone told me earlier, my son was different. I told it from the beginning, but they always said: no, dont be foolish, and waved it away.
After the diagnose from a official doctor, they would say: I knew something was wrong, or, we told one another that there was something different about him.
Now that is not a very friendly like thing, i thought.
I can sure understand your dilemma, but you know your friend best, and there are many ways that you can let him know you care.
I hope someone else will give you great tips.
Good luck!
Regards,
Yvette
