[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 264672, member: 1550"] T. has latched onto him since fourth grade. Special Education was great for my son. A lot of the kids had skills he lacked and vice versa (he is VERY smart and he used to help T. in school). T. is very social and makes my son do things he would never do on his own. L. is mainstreamed now so he just sees T. at lunch, but they call each other sometimes. L. does have friends. They rarely do anything outside of school--his best friend is an Aspie. Nobody told me he's an Aspie, but it's so obvious that under "Aspergers" in the dictionary, his face could be there. I love the kid. But back to T., the girl. T. has some cognitive problems, but she is very good with life skills. Due to a large family and living with just her mother, she and her older sisters are in charge of the six younger kids and she's like their mother. She cooks and cleans and maintains the house, things L. will need help doing when he is older. I have silly visions of her proposing to him and then I won't have to worry about him when he's older. But I digress: L. will NOT change his mind about the waterpark. Socializing at the Prom will be enough for him. It will take a lot of energy out of him. Also, he's just a freshman. It's a small school so frosh can go, but I don't think he needs to spend gobs of money, which we don't have, on his freshman year fling at Prom. I would be happy to take them both out to eat. We'll see if he changes his mind on THAT. In the meantime, I'm getting a kick out of it, even if L. prefers not going at all. Once he's there, like homecoming, I'm sure he'll see his friends and have a good time. But he'll be happy when it's over too...lol. [/QUOTE]
