[quote=Anonymous]DS, 9 hasn’t been diagnosed with ASD but we suspect he may be on the spectrum. He’s in a parks/rec camp with kids he doesn’t know and while they have a ton of fun activities he likes, there is also a lot of sports.

He’s got 4 more weeks of this camp and cried last night because he said he didn’t have any friends. We had a long chat about how friendships are built often by finding things you have in common. And I told him he could share some of his interests with the other kids and see if there is commonality.

Moving forward, we are going to find a camp that better suits his interests, but for now, how can we help him enjoy the last next few weeks and not feel isolated.

He’s a kind and sweet (almost a little naïve) and we’ve noticed that many boys his age are starting to be a little critical - all within what’s to be expected as they get older but my son is just not that way (and we love it) but because of that, he doesn’t connect with a lot of the other kids.

How can I help him enjoy the rest of camp! [/quote]
