[quote=Anonymous]Can you find a social skills group based around an interest or something he could get interested in? D&D is a good suggestion -- middle school boys will also often be interested in Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, and other such games. Face to face interaction is best -- video gaming doesn't really develop true social skills. My now-20 year old son went through this and it was so painful. A neuropsych exam didn't put him on the spectrum but he was so painfully shy and anxious (and moving from out of state when he was starting 6th did not help). His school counselor got him hooked up with other nerdy boys who were really into D&D and MTG, and it was so helpful. If it's any help, many boys can grow out of this. I saw it in my son, who really blossomed in high school and is now in his junior year of college with a big friend group, and in my nephew as well.[/quote]
