[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 376319, member: 1991"] Think about it this way - for the majority of his life, he will need to be able to get along with adults. When I was a kid, I would converse with adults (when they let me - a few did) or I would seek out the company of younger children. When I was 11, my friends at school were three years younger. difficult child 3 is the same. I really think he hasn't got what it takes socially to get on with kids his own age, but adult conversation doesn't change as the adult or kid gets older. That makes it easier. Kids who change as they get older can be too challenging. Younger kids are more like he was used to, and you could find as he gets older (and has more opportunity) that he chooses friends among the very bright, but younger children. Very much a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) trait. Marg [/QUOTE]
