[quote=Anonymous]OP, my son is younger than yours (7) and his therapist (for anxiety) raised some similar concerns. I would recommend getting your child evaluated, but in our case, at the end of the day, DS was not diagnosed with autism. We recently did this social skills group: http://socialskillsgroups.net/ and were happy with it. I know the locations are not convenient. However, the schlep was worth it for us because other social skills groups that we had tried closer in were more focused on skills that DS already had (joining a group, asking to play, making conversation) - this one focused on the more subtle skills that he lacked (knowing when your behavior is starting to annoy someone, standing an appropriate distance away from someone, moderating tone and volume of voice).
