I did not have time to re-read your entire thread, I read it earlier, but with my ave to low WM I don't remember everything in it. So I don't remember what type of school your ds is at, but if he has a rx of AS, is it possible to ask the school for your ds to be in the same class with his only friend who he clicked with (From your post: Last year he bonded with one of the other misfits in his class, a girl who loved animals and playing in the dirt as much as he did, but they are separated this year). A friend can be best therapy for him? If not maybe playdates with her.
