[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age do boys start making friends? My son is a rising 1st grader with very little interest in his peers. He does Boy Scouts and some sports but doesn’t naturally interact with kids his own age. He is super social and talkative to adults and kids who are older. He spends most of the time at our pool with teenagers. I ask him if he wants to have playdates with any friends his age but he says no. I’m inclined to go with his roll, just curious when other boys start forming friendships. [/quote]

That’s quite unusual. You probably have a very gifted child. I would suggest get him tested and seek professional suggestion, or otherwise the asynchronous development (very typical for pg kids) will bite back later [/quote]

I just want to add, profound giftedness doesn’t always show up in academic work, or not even group administrated tests like cogat. That’s why I suggest get him tested. Or like other people said, he might be on the spectrum too. So a comprehensive evaluation might benefit him, or at least gives you peace of mind if it doesn’t find out anything unusual. [/quote]
