[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kinds of learning disabilities does he have? I'm not sure what you should do. My son sounds very similar. I worry, too. Does he play any sports? [/quote] He has processing deficits/focus/attention/executive functioning issues. He doesn't do sports but is very involved in performing arts. Those are his "People" but those kids aren't at his school. While he doesn't like sports, he is aware that sports are the common denominator with most boys. I think he knows that he is not like most of the boys but so desperately wants to be accepted by them. [/quote] Ugh. I'm so sorry. My son has epilepsy and is going to have almost exactly these issues too, I think. I think a lot of kids with ADHD also seem much younger than they really are. Is he on ADHD medication and is it helping? I would think about social skills classes. Also, what about something like Tae Kwon do?[/quote]
