His social skills class is helping, yet that is actually somewhat of a trigger for him. He is brave and tries out things he is learning in social skills (conversation starters and continuers) yet they don't go exactly right like they do in class guided by 2 communication therapists! He gets stuck and doesn't know how to get out of it and all sorts of weird behaviors emerge! Yes, it is a slow uphill battle. Teachers say, "but he's so smart" like that should make up for a social age of 4!
I don't doubt for a moment that this is precisely one of our problems as well! In fact, that sounds like the same social skills stuff that DS7 gets here. I can't even imagine how those lovely "canned" conversations go when he tries them out on his classmates. I'll have to mention that to his counselors!
