[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,
Have you spoken with the teacher?  Maybe, I missed this part.  Also, all children feel left out from time to time--even so called "normal" kids.  Is it possible that it is not as bad as you think?  You mentioned his AAP teacher--is he in center or community school?[/quote]

Definitely involve the teacher on the social issues. My DD doesn't have special needs but also isn't a typically girlish girl.  She struggled in 1st grade with not having friends.  I brought it up with the teacher, who was surprised because what he saw in the class was that she was getting along well with classmates.  It was more at lunch/recess that was a problem.  He observed for a couple days, moved kids around so she was sitting with a couple girls he thought were more on her wavelength, and things got better almost immediately.

I realize your child's special needs make it more complicated, but it won't get better without the teacher being on board.  And, if she isn't, I'd raise the issue up to administration.[/quote]
