Our DS is getting a lot of rejection at his pre-school. Kids won't let him sit next to them and some of the boys say out loud, "Yay! He's leaving!" when his mother comes to pick him up.
Yesterday he said that he makes "different reality" for himself while he's there. I asked him if it was a safe place to be and he said yes, quite emphatically. He said he uses it only sometimes, but it goes a long way to explain why he can appear unfocused and unresponsive to the carers at times.
He tends to to join the girls games (I think because they talk more) and has limited success and even less with the boys.
It's tough being different!
