[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is like this. He seems to have friends at school, he mentions them occasionally, and one of them works at the same place as well. But we've never met any of them. They've never come to the house and I can count on one hand the number of times this school year he's gone out to meet any of them. He doesn't seem "close" with any if them. He's never had a girlfriend (or a boyfriend for that matter).

He does well in school, but isn't having a "punishing" high school experience, at all. He is involved in one school activity that involves once a month meetings and he has a volunteer gig two afternoons a week and a part time job on Sunday afternoons. He goes for a 3 mile run (alone or with me) 3 times a week. Other than that, he's at home. He likes to read, follows politics and current events very closely (reads the NYT and the WaPo cover to cover each day), and enjoys cooking. No gaming. He helps out around the house quite a bit. He seems to really enjoy spending time with his family. He's a model kid in many ways. He seems very happy. I worry, lol.

I'm really hoping he finds his people in college. I worry about this a lot. In fact, it's the only thing I worry about with him. He has an incredibly solid head on his shoulders and is totally *ready* to go to college. I'm just so afraid he will be lonely. :-([/quote]

Meant to add that his social skills are excellent. He's a great conversationalist and isn't at all shy. People seem to like him. But no close friends.[/quote]
