My 13 year old's psychiatrist says that I need to find a mentor for him. My son is high functioning AS (newly diagnosed), ADHD and bipolar. The psychiatrist says that he would be helpful to find an adult who can be nonjudgemental and a friend to him. He says that my son is about 10 years delayed emotionally and needs to learn to function with adults, not children his own age, because he will need this skill as an adult. Where do I begin my search? How do I ensure that the mentor has my son's best interest in mind not an ulterior motive?
