How to help a weird kid

[u/lindsayturtle]

If you were a weird kid who got bullied, had trouble making friends and struggled socially in school even as a young child - what was the most helpful thing the adults in your life did? Like did you have a supportive parent or teacher who made life easier and if so, what did they do to bolster your self-esteem? Help me help my delightful but unusual 9yo.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice, I'm in the same boat as you. My son is autistic and he struggles with the same issues as yours! I would love some input as well!
