my son is 7 years old
he see ot about his handwriting skills and he used to be under speech therapist
but we had parents meeting recently
teacher says hes got no friends at school and on about putting him groups to try to encourage him socialise
any way took him to school today and this child was trying to talk with him and he just compleatly ignored her

at home once every blue moon a child comes to play with him
and when he does come around
sometimes he leaves his friend and he does other things
i have to tell him to go back and play with him.
he plays with his sister fine and his cousins
but i havent got a clue what to do about it

Ever tried the Cubs or Scouts just a thoughtthink hisage would be still cubs not sure

hi my son was the same, he would just get up and do something else, but he was like it with his siblings, i tend to invite friends round from school for a short period of time because he really doesnt know what to do with them when they come round and also after a period of time he just wants them to go anyway, its just the way he is, last saturday he went to his first party, the last one he ever went to was about five years ago so we were all so excited as he would get upset watching his siblings going to them and ask why he couldnt, cant tell you how upsetting it was seeing him so deflated. we tried cubs but he found the marches too much and it was very rigid, he used to go to a group called woodcraft folk and they have clubs dotted everywhere and they are very accepting to every child, no matter what their need, unfortunately my son had to stop as his local club had to change their day to a school night, which was impossible for us as when he got back from the club he had to have a calming period before he would settle for bed, but its worth a try for your son, is it possible hes happy as he is, my son has a friend from his school who talks to us at the end of the day while i wait for my daughter, and sometimes my son just bursts into tears as he wants to be alone, sorry im waffling so i hope this makes sense, he sometimes gets the same with us, he wants us there but doesnt want us there, i always joke to his nurse that i need to get cardboard cut outs of ourselves so hes happy, but othertimes hes like a lost lamb following us around, maybe discuss with ot your concerns and she may have ideas also do you have a caf worker who could look into finding a suitable group for your son, anyway i really hope i made sense and you are able to get some help for your son take care x
