Yeah his eyes go really wide and he genuinely looks scared.. The first time he saw the man he had tonsillitis so I just thought he had hallucinated with a temp but he's seen it again without one.. I can deal with Jake being around and even his mum but animals and scary things is getting a bit much!
A lady I know has a ten year old with ASD who has an imaginary friend. I've never met him (the boy that is, not the imaginary friend!) She says he's had this imaginary friend for years and he is always around and involved in whatever they do. I know it was causing problems at school, but now he leaves his friend at home each morning. It sounds like there's been a lot of support and involvement from psychologists and school too.
I hope this doesn't freak you out any more than you already are, but you are not alone. Keep on doing what you are doing.
