[quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
I think my DS likes school because of the routines and he loves the academics and specials (music, art, etc).  I asked him once about how he felt about his peers or why he doesn't talk to them, but he couldn't seem to comprehend, so I never asked him again.  I know that peer interaction is hard for him and thus, he tends to avoid it, but he still needs to learn social skills.  Just like Math / Reading is hard for some kids, but they still need learn, do homework, pass the test, etc, whether they like it or not.

As for having a kid coming over to our house for a playdate, it's not a typical "you kids go play upstairs" kind of playdate. I set up art projects, science experiments, cooking and facilitate their play, then slowly fade myself so my DS can learn to sustain interaction with his friend.  My DS asks to have a playdate, really excited about it, but when his friend is here, he barely says anything to his friend nor to me throughout the entire playdate time!
