[QUOTE="Star*, post: 295994, member: 4964"] J3 - Want MY take on it? (no? lol okay here it is anyway) HE NEEDS = a BIG brother. He needs a volunteer like City Year kid that comes in and hangs with JUST HIM, or a BB/BS or a Mentor - or an After School shadow. Where you live can you check and see if you have an organization called either Mentor or YAPS? If you PM me and tell me what area you are in I can check with people I know here that may know which organizations they have THERE that may be able to help him....(thinking out loud) I think Eeyore is lonely. The gluten-free, casein-free diet could keep him apart from the other kids - ya know, but if he had someone to talk do during lunch that would just ask him how HIS world is and how HIS day is going without making him stand out too much maybe it could help. When Dude was Jr. High age - I did not want a shadow following him around in school but I DID want ANYONE to come and get him from the house a couple days a week to give him SOMETHING and SOMEONE to look forward to doing SOME kind of activity with that didn't make him feel like he had to spend ALL his time with Mommy. I didn't realize that I did that. And like Eeyore - the people at church - well lets just say - we finally quit going because we were asked not to come back. Not a problem...at all. How about instead of him making a committment to a "something" have him go to the YMCA? They have family nights - (again with the being with Mom thing) but maybe there is a big brother thing there - where you could drop him off a couple nights a week - and let him just hang out with other kids without a permanent committment? How about a local Dojo - check with a karate instructor and just talk to the instructor and tell them upfront - he's not committed, not focused and is a challenge - could they allow him to do pay as he goes? I'm trying to talk our local Dojo into doing an evening 2 hour class for Autistic kids now and have explained that a class for ED kids would be a GODSEND to parents for just a ( ) window of time a week. They are considering a night. I don't know - I'm not very brainiac today with ideas...but...maybe someone else will come up with something that is just rolling up to Eeyores needs. [/QUOTE]
