[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 523670, member: 1550"] Chalk me up as one who thinks it is unnecessary and maybe not even desirable to force a kid to go to a school dance. To me, that's a great big who cares. A lot of boys (and some girls) don't really think dances are fun or get nervous. To be honest, I don't even know why schools push these dances...I don't really think they are necessary. JMO I also know that my Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) son gets very nervous before any performances in front of a crowd, even if he is in the choir and there are thirty other kids on stage with him. He really sweats it. It's up to you if you force him to play baseball or not, but I do believe he is extremely nervous about it. I know how Sonic gets...Sonic is not faking it. Sometimes, however, Sonic needs a push and he's ok. Sometimes it's not ok when we push him. We sort of play it by ear. Good luck with figuring all this out! [/QUOTE]
