    I feel for you and understand. I feel the same for my kids, I was pretty socially awkward as a little kid.

    It sounds like a good situation. Just give him time. I don't think he necessarily has to open up about everything, anyway. Just so he's making progress and feeling better. It's a longish process sometimes.

    I think you're a great mom for recognizing his needs and getting him to where he needs to be. Sometimes it's a little disconcerting to think..What!, I'm his parent, why can't I fix this? I always thought that really smart people know when they need a little help. We all do sometimes, don't we? smile

    It's not just GT kids that have social issues. I have a house full of different ages and abilities and they all have various problems. Part of it is just trying to figure out where you fit.
    Granted it's harder for some than for others but even the most popular kids have their self doubt. They're just better at keeping it buried.
