[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar aged kid with a different set of special needs who is a really kind social butterfly. If he knew your son needed a real friend he would be his friend. Maybe not bosom buddies, but he'd include him and talk to him and ask him to join in play. But he might need to be told that the kid needed a friend, and asked to be helpful. So I wonder if you can identify a kid (with teacher's help, maybe) who could be a bridge for your kid into the social world of the other boys, and then you could ask the boy's mom if she'd be willing to get the boys together, and you can chat with her and see if her son might be willing to be a friend. I think small schools with good school counselors do some of this matching-up, but in a larger school your son's need for that buddy might be getting lost.[/quote]
