DS1 is nearly 8 (Yr3) and has mild AS and dyspraxia.
He has had 3 close friends since he started school 4 yrs ago but they are, naturally, all changing and growing up and I can see that they are beginning to grow apart. The other 3 are v. sporty and not surprisingly DS is not.
He has also had a problem with another child recently who is trying to joing in their little group but who is trying to push DS out and is not being very kind about it either.
It just feels like he is the odd one out all the time and I think it is beginning to get to him. He notices now that he is the one to get left out when everybody pairs up.
The school has a friendship group session which he does with another child with problems (don't know what) and two other NT boys. However, this doesn't seem to help and he is getting older so the teachers aren't interested in helping him out either.
Sorry this is a bitt long but basically how can I help him increase his circle of friends without being there to help?
Thanks.
