[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my child is older and has friends and very social.  6 is one of the harder ages. Give it another year or two.  Birthday parties taper off around 6-7 with the large groups because of      cost.  Sports and cub scouts are good suggestions.[/quote]

Thank you - this gives me some hope.  :)  DD has lots of extracurriculars but I notice the same pattern everywhere. Older kids think she's cute, she's drawn to the younger kids because she can communicate better with them, and kids her own age...total no-go. Maybe as she moves through school it will get better...[/quote]

My kid has some minor language struggles still but is learning to adapt.  Socially still a drop behind because they missed those important early years but it does get better, especially around 2/3rd grade.  I'd pick extracurriculars where speech isn't involved as much.  Hang in there... its a complicated disorder as most people don't understand it.  But, it does get much much better or at least my child has. I don't really worry like I used to.[/quote]
