You might want to look into group therapy for him to help with his social skills. My DS9 (PDD-NOS) has been going to one for several months now and I made a huge difference in his school behavior. The other kids in the group are kids his own age, who also have some difficulty making/keeping friends of their own age. I think 2 are just super ADHD, and I don't know much about the other 2. They've been making great progress though. The LPC who oversees it does cognitive behavior therapy.
Its not like he's struggling making friends . He makes friends very easy , but what becomes problem is that , he doesn't think his friends understand him , so it gets tiring for him . And it's like he always has to explain things to his friends ( his age ) , so he thinks by throwing jokes , silly stupid jokes , making them laugh would fit him better among his classmates . Since talking about things that he likes doesn't interest his friends , nor his friends care or understand what he's talking about .
Does that make sense at all ?
