nmmom,

Thank you so much for your post! I guess DS is just one of those "I" people on the personality scales and while he enjoys his friends he also enjoys his downtime. I have to say now that you all have helped me gain some perspective I am the same way. I like going to parties but I am always one of the first ones to leave and I like nothing better than coming home from work on a day when no one else is due home for an hour or two.

That's great that your DS will participate in group things and go away on camping trips etc.
