[quote=Anonymous]I would make him some social story books so that they are personalized to him and his friends on "what to do on a playdate" type of things. Make sure too that when he does say things like "my brain is not good" and "I'm not smart" that you tell him positive things like "your brain is really good at things like math and ___" and "Yes you are smart - you're so smart you know all those math facts" or things like that. Let him know that everyone is different and it's OK that he's good in some things but not others because that's how we all are. Continue to give him social situations and skills as he can handle it - it sounds like you're doing great so far![/quote]
