I agree with DeeDee also. I guess the school made me feel like he SHOULD know those things. Honestly, he says some of the most profound things you could imagine out of a five year old but yep he prefers to play (who doesn't right I'd rather be at the mall than at work). He just doesn't want to be around kids his own age at all. I have been taking him to the gym with me everyday for about a month hoping he would interact and 9/10 times he plays alone perfectly happy while the other kids run all around him. Oh well I cant force him to play with other kids I guess he does it when he wants to. Makes me worry about next year though.
