I read this in the paper today…
Q. My brilliant 11-year old son is much smarter than I will ever be: he’s respectful, considerate, and patient, and he gets along well with my two younger sons. The younger boys are social creatures and have many friends, but the 11-year old never had a friend. I’ve joined play groups, set up play dates, and befriended moms whose children might have pals for my sons, but to no avail. He seemed like a happy kid anyway, but today he cam clean. He said that he feels like an alien when he travels the halls of his new middle school, and that he doesn’t have anyone to talk to at lunch. It is so odd to have a son who is an invisible kid, although I’ve seen him interact with kids his own age and he is very awkward with them. I tell him that there is bound to be another “invisible kid” sitting alone at lunch and feeling the same. He said that this makes him feel like a FAILURE. Friendship seems to come so naturally to everyone else, he says, but not to him. He also says he is happy by himself and doesn’t know if he’d be happier having friends. Why does my son feel the way he does? Any suggestions to help?
