[QUOTE="nvts, post: 445730, member: 3814"] Hey! Many hugs to you...I know what the wringer is like with this and you're DEFINATELY in the wringer! I'm still on the page of some social skills issues as well as sensory for your little guy. Would the social worker be willing to explore with him HOW he goes about making friends and how he plays with them? She could do that simply with role-playing (ie: Hey! Let's pretend I'm a new kid at camp that doesn't know anyone - how would you make friends with me" and so on). This might explain why he's claiming he's got no friends and she could help him figure out a better way would be to get to know someone new). The other thing to consider would be to ask your doctor for a referral for an Occupational Therapy evaluation. If he's got sensory issues and you're not aware of them, this could be fueling the inability to wind down at the end of the night. The good news is that sometimes a weighted vest or blanket, a brushing regimin and some cuddling could be a very simple solution that would also allow the two of you a little bonding time. I don't know about you, but there are times that bonding is tantamount to allowing a tarantula to lay it's eggs in my ear rather than spend time with one or more of them after a particularly horrible day! :groooansmileyf: I would keep my eyes and ears open on the suicidal talk, but not over-emphacize it with him. If you see it escalating or your level of concern increases - take him in and have it evaluated. I'd keep a running list of times that he makes the remarks...it could be simply a bad habit, a real concern or something to get a rise out of you. It could also be his final declaration of: "Ok, I'm having trouble and I need you to pay attention RIGHT NOW, so I'll just say something to alarm you" syndrome. Keeping a record (jot quick notes kind of thing) might give you some insight. Hug yourself often - once the neuropsychologist is completed, you'll know what tree to bark up! And always remember: we're here for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
