Breakaway, is this a boy at the same school? Last year our school's counselor was able to help ds and another boy work through some communication difficulties which looked to ds like he was loosing a friend, but turned out he was just physically crowding the other guy. Once they got that sorted out it turns out the other boy really wants to be his friend and they have a lot in common.
Thanks Chris,
I imagine my son was/is probably doing the same (physically crowding). This seems to be his biggest issue in not making friends and we are working hard on learning to respect other's space. He is also quick to think the worst though. For example he told me a boy in his class was mean to him and I asked what he meant and he said "Well yesterday we played and today when I came in he just said Hi but not really excitedly." So when he says the other boy is avoiding him it is hard to tell what is really going on.
He just started doing social skills training with the adjustment counselor so hopefully that will help. Thanks for the advice!
