[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 294283, member: 1550"] If your son has trouble socializing, just being with kids won't help him. You can't pratice social skills if you don't know what they are. in my opinion He needs extra help to learn them. Just watching other kids isn't giving him those skills that most kids just pick up automatically. If you don't want to get it from school, can you get it privately? It's kind of hard to help if you are against a diagnosis. I wanted to know why my child was different so I could help him the best I could. He's going to need to socialize correctly when he is older and the younger he's taught in an almost text book way, t he better it will get. Also, he probably has sensory issues which is why crowds are hard for him. in my humble opinion, you need to get him services for social skills and sensory issues, if not other things. I really don't believe you can do it yourself. We're moms--we love our kids--but we aren't professionals. My son can do crowds now. He desperately needed interventions. There are things you CAN NOT SEE when a child is at home. I don't mean you shouldn't homeschool, only that kids who may be on the spectrum are always more comfortable and higher functioning at home, but at some point in time they will have to leave home...again all of this JMO.
