I want to show this thread to my DH so maybe he might understand our son better. I try to let him use h... |

| At this point the bulling isn't so bad. It more or less being pushed over by other kids. If he has money or a toy he will give it to other kids if they ask just to fit in or make a friend. He has already noticed he is not the same as other kids his age! I do not want to make him a target for bullies... |

| My son would play a lot by himself a lot! Even now he is still a loner! When he does decide to be around people he would rather be around adults than children. He even acts like a little adult. He will refer to his brother and sisters as the kids! We just kinda let him hang out with us. |

Also, I highly recommend The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships by Temple Grandin & Sean Barron. When it comes... |

| That is one thing I think I do! I feel like I am over protective but not just with him but all my kids! I try to let them do things on their own! But I know I do more for them than I need to! I try not to make comments about them because word hurt worse than anything else sometimes!! |

My ds 7 pretty much constantly hums and makes all sorts of noises (haha as I'm even typing this he's humming and making airplane whine type noises while he's eating) ALL day long. We homeschool, so I'm around him all the time, it's cute, ... |
