[quote=Anonymous]Hello forum,

My kid is a young-aged 6th grader. He is aspinger level. He doesn't have much classroom support and the main issue is social skill. He is on adhd med but the main issue is calling out in classroom or interrupting. he still needs to improve conversation level - a long lengthy conversation or small talk type.

We tried cub scout from the school and one of his classmate dad was the den leader. So he made friend with that boy. Now they move to boy scout. My kid is not really into outdoor hiking etc. he just wants to have chance to play with other kids. He plays better with NT kids since they are usually more outgoing and able to direct the situation.

We are able to have playdate with his boy scout grade mate most of time. yet past 4 days when he asked, he was told his friend would need to organize clean for 4 days. no time for playdate. I really feel sad for him. He is hurt and he did not tell me when he came home until I asked if he wanted me to set up playdate.

He is in a social group and has been in social group for 2-3 years after ABA.

I am scare of middle school. I saw how fairfax county just rotate kids among classrooms. In this case, he may have no social life. He truly enjoys breaktime now in elementary school. He plays four squares. once time other kids want to kick him out, the teacher said no. He has been able to enjoy this game.

What the social group doesn't help is that there is no long term relationship between kids. Social is not just casual chat about weather or hobbies.

He is very into video games, history and enjoy talking politics.

I wonder

1. if I can set up a kid group like his age myself, is this feasible? need kids at close level.
2. willl a small different middle school help? I am afraid he will say he wants to stay with his friends. 
3. will joinning a church help? His music teacher is in a church and encourage. He is not into it.

What do you recommend? He went to a peer group offered by a speech group, the other kid is lower level. We did not get  much out of it.

He currently plays tennis but little chance to talk in training. I will go observe more.

Please help me.

Thanks!
