Finding kids who get my ds has been very very difficult ~ two of his closest friends are both 2.5 years older than him, and he doesn't get to see them in school due to their being in middle and he's still in ES. He has only so-so social skills, but he is better at getting along than just a couple years ago; for his birthday we are inviting the older boys, one gifted younger boy from the neighborhood, and a couple kids from his gt pull out that he is friends with.
