[quote=Anonymous]You might find some good support on the Kids with Special Needs board. I'm sorry it's feeling especially hard right now. We have experienced some of this with our child, and a lot of it right around that age. It's when skills (academic, physical) can start to differentiate and your son may start to notice his difference more and more. You will need to work to find activities and places where he can succeed and it may not be in the same team sports as his friends. My kid turned out to be a decent climber, so we do that with friends and it's something where she can hold her own in a peer group. The friends sound like they're still including him though which is really the most important thing. Find new ways to facilitate that friendship focused on activities where he can feel like an equal. He will also continue to develop new interests as he gets older and give those lots of support; they will turn into things he can share with friends.[/quote]
