[quote=Anonymous]OP here - Thanks for all the responses - I do appreciate it. The tricky part for us is that he is not a loner - he actually loves to socialize and is most happy when he is with friends. However, his friends are all in different social groups and he never wants to initiate things - he gets very anxious if we talk to him about having friends over etc. But if someone asks him to do something, he is thrilled. But he gets fewer invitations now and I know he feels upset about it. I feel like the more he is on his own, the lower his self esteem, the harder it will get for him to socialize since social groups are forming and he is missing out. I'm sure I will be told that I am nuts and should stay out of it - and maybe that's true - but it is very hard to watch your kid have few if any friends when he so wants to have them. [/quote]
