The OT did say that socially, DS isn't able to pick up as many social cues as other children his age. A lot of sensory information gets lost--that is part of dyspraxia.

From what I can tell, DS does have difficulties being aware of all the body language (like Grinity mentioned), but he compensates with a lot of empathy, an overall happy personality, amazing verbal skills, and a well-developed sense of humor. He likes to make others laugh and smile (including his parents) so that is offsetting the dyspraxia enough to keep him well-liked. It's funny to see because he does make social mistakes, but then he recovers them with a funny joke or a big smile. Kids are pretty forgiving at this age. That may change though.

My husband doesn't have any problems socially, and is well-liked...so YMMV.
