[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

I would suggest trying to pair him up with some younger kids, either at school or outside school.  My DS has ADHD and does much better with younger kids (by at least 2 years) who are more forgiving of some of his more irritating behaviors because they are less mature themselves.  It doesn't fix the problem of having few friends in his own grade, but it is better for him to have friends somewhere else than no friends at all. [/quote]
