It sounds as if he is in a state of denial right now. It's hard to help him when he is going through this stage.
You can do research on your own, and eventually he may decide he wants and needs your support.
Has he been to a dermatologist (one who specializes in alopecia areata)? Although there is no cure for this condition, it might help your son to talk to the doctor about how common it is and learn about treatment options. And, he may be right about not losing all his hair. The hair loss could stop at any time and regrow, never to return. On the other hand, it could continue and progress. It's good you are prepared and doing all you can to learn about alopecia.
How are you and your son doing today?
