My 15 yr. old son went to a local amusement park with his JROTC group today. I dropped him off at 8:30 am and picked him up at 11pm at school. They were together as a group for a dance and lunch until about 2 when they were released to go off and have fun. My son said he spent the day alone. He said he went on one ride which surprised me because he's hated roller coasters since he was about 8. (He told me today that he didn't really go on any rides. He just said that because he thought it was what I wanted to hear).
I'm not sure if this was his choice or because no one wanted to hang with him. He said he told two girls in his group that he liked to be alone. I wonder if they were asking him if he wanted to hang with them or what. A few months ago at an awards ceremony I noticed lots of people greeting him and that made me really happy. One of the guys is in Boy scouts with him and I don't understand why they didn't hang out because I've seen them talk. I wonder if it was because he didn't want anyone knowing that he didn't like roller coasters??? Thursday after my kids' Dr. appt he told his little sister that she needed to try harder to make friends so she wouldn't be lonely at school like he had been.
And I told my SO of a year about my son's recent IEP and how they want to qualify him as having aspergers since his grades are too good with just an ADD diagnosis. He's spent a lot of time with both my kids, but I never told him that some think he has aspergers. Now, a few days later he's gone quiet and not talking to me much. Could be other issues, but then again...
