Thanks Master of None - DH and I are pretty adament about having him stick through things - if he signs up for something he sees it through - school was the only place we drew the line after we began to see him have nightmares and bed wetting due to massive stress. He is back in scouts this year again and all his classes/activities he has continued, he just hasn't found a "buddy" that he can enjoy doing something he is passionate about with to be a friend with other than daddy and I....I think having a friend would be a huge esteem booster for him. I know he has told me for several years now that he is tired of the other kids calling him "weird" so it does bother him...he has 2 friends that he sees on playdates but he has yet to find someone who thinks programming and building circuits is cool. I am just worried with the sadness I hear and how hard he is on himself. Thanks for the ideas
