[quote=Anonymous]Hi, Op

Do you think your son has anxiety issues?  ADD or ADHD?  Has your son always been this way?   My DD with Aspergers, could cope with social situations when she was younger because little kids are more forgiving and parents more involved.  But, when you get to middle school kids have their own minds and for kids who can't read the situation or are awkward ( not knowing when to stop talking about a favorite subject) it is near impossible.  As a parent, for these kids you need to step up and help them.

Sometimes kids with anxiety want friends but, their anxieties get in the way.  For outgoing people, going up to a group of kids ( while they are talking ) and joining in is no problem but, for others ( including my DD) it was impossible.  She just was overcome with fear of rejection.  Same with school work, sometimes kids give up on themselves first so they can save face.  Well, I could do this but, it takes forever ( ADD?) and if I don't try I can tell myself I didn't want to get good grades ( even if they do)

Have you had your son tested?  Perhaps that might be a good way to start.

Good luck!
