[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] Can you help him learn the most popular sport among the boys in his grade? He doesn't have to play on a team but at least having an understanding of the game and how to talk about it might help him be seen less as an outsider and that alone could bring about more inclusion.[/quote]
