We've been having some issues with our 12 year old ds. It's come to light from various events at school that he doesn't seem to understand some social norms. This has floored me as I have 2 older dds who seem so mature and sorted. Ds is outgoing, talkative, makes friends easily....But then those friends stop being friends with him and he doesn't know (or even seen to question) why. He just accepts that "X doesn't like me any more" He chats to his teachers like they are his friends and seems to touch and talk to people inappropriately. The school are going to have him evaluated by the educational psychologist, but I was wondering if anyone else here has any experience of this? I want to help/ support him, but I'm at a loss. We tell him off and punish him for things but it doesn't seem to have any effect, he takes the punishment but does the same again and again (filthy room, not wearing boxers, silly things) Anyone else had experience of this? If be so grateful for any advice
