[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you find him adults to socialize with? Grandparents, aunts/uncles, old ladies in the neighborhood, or younger kids? My son is minimally interested in peers but will have longish chats with friendly neighbors, relatives, and anyone who shares his interests. It’s not the same but it’s still social connection and social practice.[/quote] He probably talks too much with encouraging adults. His dentist thinks he’s the outgoing type. Very gentle and caring with babies and toddlers. He’s a smart kid and I’m sure he’ll be able to make it look like he’s socializing if I push harder. I don’t want just the appearance and am not sure if pretending will lead to true enjoyment. It’s about acceptance in the end but he’s so young and there are still a lot I can do to help. I only wish I know the right way. [/quote]
