[quote=Anonymous] My 6th grader is in a new cluster for middle school and came in knowing nobody. He still hasn't made friends, which is not surprising because he has some socialization issues: while he's not shy, he's very introverted and doesn't feel the need to have friends. He is medicated for his inattentive ADHD and is doing very well academically, despite some motor skills issues (both fine and gross motor). He is at heart a non-athletic nerd/geek, as we all are, more or less, in the family, except that the girls in the family have friends. He reads voraciously and is allowed to play short video games like Plants vs Zombies in his free time. Since I'm a research scientist, I see many intelligent adults without deep friendships or with minimal socialization skills. I don't want my son to become one of them. What can I do? Thank you.[/quote]
