Ametrine- so sorry to hear this. Honestly, more empathy and support than advice.
I also have a 1st grade boy. He knows he is different and is very sensitive. It is hard to watch. Ds is very social and wants friends and to fit in, yet he has "no friends", wants no play dates, etc.
Kids are mean. My ds gets deeply hurt when others say mean things to him. This perpetuates the problem.
I have tried telling ds to ignore the comments, find someone else to play with, or say it hurts his feelings. I think he mostly walks away (when he doesn't cry).
I will be following this thread. Keep us posted.
