[quote=Anonymous]It does sound like he has difficulties with friendships and communication - the "conversation enders" in the group chat, for example, are something he could work on if he wanted to. I will say that teen boys in general won't be able to answer "did your friends do anything fun over the summer?" or "what college is Sam going to?" or "what other things does Greg like to do?" I have a super socially adept 18 year old boy with a tight friend group. And yet he often doesn't know the most basic things about them that girls would know. Girls use that sort of information as social currency to show they know each other. Boys don't, at all. I don't think not knowing those things indicates that he is less interested in other people than other boys. It sounds like he still needs to develop skills to connect with other boys in the ways they do connect, though, which are games of all types, going out for food, and wandering aimlessly.[/quote]
