[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being #1 as a Rubik's Cube champion, isn't the same thing as "doing fine."  [/quote]

He has friends at school and gets excellent grades:  If that's not doing fine, please tell what is.[/quote]

I'm sure you're very proud of Justin, but most kids aren't with language disorders/social skill deficits aren't child prodigies.  [/quote]

We're proud of him but he isn't a prodigy.  The point of my post was that I'm not sure how much social groups help (and unlike my nephew, we've been doing them for yrs and will be doing with no end in sight even though I doubt they help much - at least with my kid).[/quote]

[b]Social skills help in the long term; that's been well established[/b].  It is a never ending slog at this age.  Your nephew is the exception to the rule now and probably in the future.  I wouldn't compare.[/quote]

Many people especially the ones that run social skills groups say this but there aren't any long term studies that show this.  Our neuropsych who recommended social skills groups for our DS admitted this and he is a scientist/researcher who works in this field.[/quote]
