[quote=Anonymous]I have a son with severe ADHD and social problems as well. We see a child psychologist once a month and she gives him projects like 'invite 3 people to play at recess'. My DS can make friends quite easily. He's an interesting and likable kid. However he can't maintain the friendships he makes. It seems like he gets burned out in the company of other people and wants to be alone. In working with him and his doctor my first project was to figure out if he was an introvert or an extrovert. Putting an introvert into a group situation where there's much competition is a recipe for disaster. Lessons and extra curricular activities had to be one on one or I was wasting my time and money. He also seems to relate to older kids and adults better. Kids his own age tend to be too taxing emotionally for him. But if he can learn something from an older child his enthusiasm and attention is higher. Consider Big Brother/Big Sister program. It helped my son greatly. [/quote]
