No advice, but can relate. Ds7 is in 1st grade. He has had no friends the last two years. We were completely aghast, because he was named "norm" from Cheers at church preschool- very social, confident, and happy.
We've struggled with what to do. The school has been unsupportive. Since he talks to kids, the teacher thinks he's fine. He's not. He plays alone 4-5 days/ week.
We are sending him to a hg private school next year. Hoping this will be an improvement.
Good luck. Wish I could offer more help! Validate feelings. Keep us posted!
