[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 221142, member: 1550"] Ok, I wrote this before I read your last post. Because I think it's still valid and worth thinking about, I'm going to leave it as is and you can disregard it if you feel it is not helpful. I'm thinking Aspergers Syndrome as a possibility. If so, that explains why he has so much trouble with other kids. He is "different" and they know it. These kids can learn to improve their social skills and other aspects of life, and I highly recommend calling a University or Children's Hospital to get a neuropsychologist evaluation.
