Reply To: What do I tell myself?

So, I’m not as concerned about the call from last year. My son is *Chaim Shlomo*.

The first call asking for a play date (“can you come to my house now to play”) sounded like it came from the child. He was asking for an immediate play date, right now.

After I made the call to the mom and left a message asking to solidify plans, the child then called my son back (I answered) and he told me his mom said my son is not allowed to come over there. We have not advertised the issue my son struggles with, so, although other parents can see he’s different, they don’t know why. My son’s issues interfere with his ability to make friends, so, although he very much wants friends, he has issues that interfere with his ability to make them. He’s very isolated in class. Teachers have tried to connect him with the kinder boys, but to no avail. I’ve put him in social skills groups, but still, he continues to struggle and be isolated.
