[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't interfere with my tween, 10 yo, son's friendships because at this point he find my presence "cringy" but I appreciate that you want to help.  I honestly don't think there is much you can do at this age other than modeling being kind and acceptance of differences.

.  DS has ASD/ADHD and he has friendships through common interests mostly video games and discussions about shoes, electronics, cars and sports with his NT peers.  DS is popular and has friends.[/quote]

I wanted to add to my post above.  Pity friendships are not needed.

DS is popular meaning other kids consider him a "cool" kid and WANT to be friends with him.  DS not so much, he is imore particular about his favored people not that he is unkind but he really does not care that much people in general but admittedly likes being the center of attention.  So DH and I scratch our heads over his popularity:  Whenever we go to his activities, there are always kids coming up to him.  DH thinks it is because DS is very good looking but I don't know.
