[quote=Anonymous]First, most of those friendships you see are very surface level and only there because people feel they need to show they have friends. Second, a lot of people make their first real friends in college or later, as they learn more about themselves and find people who share genuine interests. In many cases, friends hold you back as you want to stay close to them so you choose the college where they are going and now what suits you. Third, people underestimate how differently people's brains mature. Some have the social part develop faster. Sounds like your son's frontal cortex (the executive function part) is growing a bit slowly and also the social part. All of that is related to ADHD. Dedicate this summer to coaching him through meeting people and having lots of good conversations. And remember, nerds rule the world. [/quote]
