My DS (9) has never been a popular child, he's quite "eccentric", has different interests to most kids his age (for instance, swap the football with my chemical romance and you have DS) and he's also dyspraxic which doesn't exactly help.
Anyway, up until now he's managed to scrape by with one friend although even this boy used to go off and leave him on his own sometimes...
Now the situation has worsened completely because the boy has moved to another school so DS is completely friendless.
He spends dinner times and play times walking around by himself. Part of it is his own fault though because ALL the other kids play football...DS refuses to join in and seems to think that the kids should stop playing football in order to play with him instead.
He goes to karate 3 times a week so has opportunities to socialise then but it still leaves him spending all day by himself at school.
The school have no clubs or anything that he could join to keep occupied and have no plans to start any because there isnt enough call for them (all the kids play football).
Is there anything I can do? DS wants to move school but I think he would have the same problem anywhere...in the words of my chemical romance "you're never gonna fit in much kid..."
