[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 538233, member: 11847"] When I dropped them off this morning, there were some "new" kids in his class for the summer. They actually used to be with V in the previous preschool (the one I pulled him out of). As I saw the familiar faces, I smiled and greeted them. V just stared with a blank face. I reminded him of their names and told him to play with them as it is all new to them. I figured it would be nice for V to be with some of his old classmates (and they are cute well behaved kids). When I picked them up, I asked V about his day and who he played with. After a few more questions, V told me that he did not remember those previous classmates! He had no clue who they were. He knew where they came from since the teacher and I told him, but he had no memories of it. V had been with them for almost 2 years and he saw them last in mid March. A little weird.. specially when I know he can remember past events from 2 years ago or so. His memory seems to fail him in some areas such as academics and face recognition. If he can't remember faces very good (he will confuse people who look a like/have common features), I suppose it could be a real social barrier. Top it with difficulties remembering names. Maybe Partner allows him to refresh his memories on all this data and therefor opens him the door for good social interactions? I am not sure if this theory holds any water, but V's comment on not remembering those kids must be important, a piece of the puzzle. [/QUOTE]
