[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI that the ADHD plus no friends facts mean you could be looking at a very mild case of what used to be Aspergers. Consider group therapy and some targeted pharma help through psychiatrist. Abilify (for flexible thinking) and Lexapro (for mood regulation and anxiety) were game changers for my kid, but it’s a long road. Hang in there.[/quote]

+1 I say this as a mom of a kid with what used to be called Aspergers who has friends,  but needed more helping learning social skills than a kid without it. It's not just about joining the clubs. He has to make an effort to turn acquaintances into friends and there are so many social rules by this age. Some kids just naturally smile, make conversation and do friendship gestures that are welcoming, but not overbearing others need some coaching. There are subtle cues to read to see if the person is interested or annoyed.

OP here he is on meds and therapy in place. Now just need to find the activities for him to practice what he’s learning about social skills![/quote]
