[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 342478, member: 1550"] I know what you mean. My son has Aspergers and when he is upset he actually CAN'T open up. He truly doesn't know how so I have to help him by asking him questions. He also doesn't have friends at home, although he has them at school and has a very flat affect. I have learned that Asperger's kids often have no expression and that doesn't mean they are depressed (perhaps your son has a touch of Aspergers?) My son doesn't seem to want company very often...I make sure he goes to certain activities and he usually likes it once he's there. He will never be a social butterfly, but I don't really think he is lonely. He actually comes home and needs a "time out" from people. It could be that your difficult child doesn't have t he same need to socialize that you do. As for his life being hard, life is VERY hard for our differently wired kids. If his treatment isn't helping him, perhaps you could use a second opinion on how to handle his care. (((Hugs))) and I hope things get better for you kiddo. [/QUOTE]
