Conferenced with the teacher today. She said my son seems fine socially, just someone who prefers alone time over constantly being in the crowd. But said he is kind and respectful in class when she sees him. She named two boys he seems to hang around with more often.

So, I wonder what set this Mom/substitute off. The regular teacher didn't think the description was at all accurate.

So, I'm still worried socially because he just doesn't have a close friend. But, I'm no longer in alarm/emergency mode.

I appreciate all your suggestions, and I'm going to be using many of them as the social side I still think needs work.
