Thank You!
There were so many supportive and helpful comments to my post yesterday , I felt they deserved a post to say Thank You!! It always amazes me that there are just so many awesome people who read and comment on my little corner of the Internet - it really boggles the mind some days.
We’ve tossed around some of your suggestions, and obviously this will be a process of trial and error as he grows and develops social skills. We thought about Scouts, but without one of us to be at the meetings & activities with him, aside from the fact that I don’t see how Gus would even keep up, I’m not convinced that he wouldn’t bolt at the first chance, especially if the local troop is a big one. A friend suggested that maybe they’d have someone who could act as a shadow/mentor, but before I trust my son’s well being to anyone, obviously I’d have to know them extremely well. And even then, the trust is tenuous at best. I can’t say I’m the most forgiving person when it comes to some things.
As for sports, I think there may be a couple of indoor soccer games over the winter, but in the meantime, I’m looking into a special needs bowling league. He might like that. And I’m going to see if he can hang out, maybe over the holidays, with one of the boys from his class who I think doesn’t live too far.
He loves to sing, so I’m thinking maybe a voice class or chorus might be an option also.
At any rate, I will certainly take all your suggestions and input into consideration, and again, I really appreciate the great response to my question!!
Have a great Saturday night!
