[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am thinking that if I give him a phone or smartwatch without internet, will that help him on any aspects of connecting more with his friends, and maybe expand his social friends? [/quote] OP beware of thinking that any device, video game, or other shortcut can make any significant difference on connecting with friends. For a kid with HFA who has friends at school, I would hold off on introducing group texts as long as possible. Don't worry about the walk home from middle school for another 1.5 years. Focus on in-person time. Figure out the parent dynamics and work with what you have now.[/quote] Another upvote here [/quote]
