[quote=Anonymous][quote]I would be more focused on the statement that he has no friends.[/quote] I agree. I would share this information with his gen ed and special ed teachers. We went through something similar in 5th grade and his gen ed teacher was able to suggest a friendship to encourage. We did and it worked out really well. It gave him some confidence to participate in some school sponsored after school activities which were positive for him. Overall, it got him through a rough patch. I have a younger DS with far more significant challenges and while he doesn't have a particular friend, he, too, has particiapted in these events and is feeling more a part of a group. Last year, younger DS said he was a lonely a lot. This year, he said he's not. Melted my heart.[/quote]
