[QUOTE="bran155, post: 225238"] First off let me say how impressed I am with your son, his ability to tell you that he has trouble talking to people is amazing. The only thing my daughter will admit to is having anger problems. So - kudos to him!!! :) My daughter is the same way. She is very uncomfortable in social situations that don't include gang members, convicts, drug dealers.....etc. So Christmas Eve we usually go to my aunts house and she is visibly feeling out of place. My heart breaks for her because you can see it on her face and in her body language. One of my aunts is very understanding of our situation and always makes a big deal when she sees my daughter. Last year as soon as we walked in the door she just made my daughter feel so special. She jumped up out of her seat and said "There she is, the only one I wanted to see tonight", gave her a big hug and kiss and began a conversation with her. It worked, the rest of the night went pretty smoothly. A few bumps here and there. Can you make arrangements for someone or a few people to embrace him in such a way. Maybe he too might feel good if people are actually excited to see "him", that he is that special. Just a thought. Good luck. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday. :) [/QUOTE]
