[quote=Anonymous]Is he a late bloomer? My DS was like this in late ES and MS.  The other boys outgrew him.  DS did sit with some kids at lunch who went to the same ES magnet in MS, but that was about it. He never brought a kid home, and almost never went out with other kids.

Thankfully, he did Boy Scouts, so that got him out of the house and outdoors. He was not into sports, so this was his only outlet for physical activity.  We had him play soccer with a rec league, but he made no friends there, either because he was not good at it. He was just an awkward kid.

He blossomed during the pandemic.  Had a growth spurt and matured over that period.  When he went back to school people were shocked. He had played online games on discord with some kids at school, and when they went back to in person, he started to hang out with them more outside of school.   He even got a gf the following year.

Hang in there. It may get better.  IMO, 10 to 15 yrs of age is really hard for the late bloomers (my DD included).[/quote]
