[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 448787, member: 11791"] I'm just trying to be creative... what other kinds of activities can you expose him to, that might bring him in contact with others (chance to make friends), and/or perhaps become another self-defining interest. For example, have you ever tried getting him involved in photography? In particular, the digital cameras... because it becomes both an outside interest (you have to get out of the house to take pictures in the first place), and then becomes a different activity to do with the computer - sorting, titling, etc., then figuring out how to edit for various effects, etc. You mentioned bari sax... and yes, you won't go buy one (i know what THOSE cost!), but... you could look into a summer rental - even if its just for a month, he can get back into the swing of it again before school starts. Do you have Big Brothers there? They can pair him with a volunteer who can take an interest in him... here, they give priority to kids from single-parent homes. Just some ideas... We know what its like to not have the supports... and/or negative supports. [/QUOTE]
