Hi Trina,
Welcome - I'd love to know 'who' pointed you in this direction - a fellow mom, a professional? A school-connected person.
Having a friend for you and for your son is going to make a huge difference. So go back to that person and ask them for ideas of how to find playmates.
I also like 2 books -
'Friends Forever' by Fred Frankel,about how to train you kids to grow close friendships,
and
'Transforming the Difficult Child Workbook' by Lisa Bravo.
Friends forever is pitched to kids in 1st through 6th grade, but since your son may well be having playdates with kids in this agegroup, I'm suggesting that you read it now and start adapting.
There is this thing called 'asynchronous development' that might bite you from time to time. I remember the joke-
'Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...it's a duck'
That will never apply to your son - and it can be disorrienting.
So glad you are here! Pull up a chair and delve in. You can use the search key to read chronologically what Shari and LD when through right from the start. Dottie and I are Dinosaurs and did most of our work before this site opened.
Smiles,
Grinity
