[quote=Anonymous]I don't know - I get it. My son has ADHD, he does things that are annoying, he doesn't connect well with typical kids, it's their choice whether they want to play with him or not. He does all kinds of therapies but it will take him years to transfer some of these skills in real time. Right now, he's lonely, left out, the target of unkind comments, and occasionally bullied. 
So all of you parents with kids who don't struggle in this way, what do you suggest? Forget the school friendships and find other kids like him? Remove him and homeschool? Tell him over and over again that we're sorry that "so and so" said "no one likes him or wants to sit by him?" That we're sorry the kids at his lunch table decided to sit at one end and leave him by himself at the other? Like it or not, my son goes to school with NT kids. That won't change. He has a brain based disorder that affects him socially and that's not likely to change in the near future. He's currently being monitored for depression. He's eight. [/quote]
