Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 In out home our son is quiet and loves to stay in his room and watch 'old game shows'. I am his stepmother and we have a good relationship. I am trying to get him to interact with us in a more social manner. All we get is one word answers. He is capable of carrying on conversations, if he wants to- and does so during his day program, according to his supervisors. I have gotten him involved with park district programs that he does enjoy. However, he does not have the social mechanics in place to initiate friendships. School provides this because of 'everyday' seeing the same people. He has an irrational view that only his father's family is " family " and any extended family of mine does not warrant his good manners. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.
