He's 14 and sometimes it's kinda sad.

My son is 11 and is in his first week of middle school. The first day was hell, but things are getting better. There is a boy who saves a seat for him at the lunch table. There is another boy on the bus who is friendly. He can get his locker open about half the time with out help.

He seems to be settling in (faster than I had expected!). But watching the struggle is heartbreaking. He had a dentist appt today. New dentist. It didn't go well at all. :(

Dentist stuff is the HARDEST with these kids. My son is VERY tractable for an Asperger's child, but he still needs to be sedated for fillings and has a terrible time with the X-rays. It's serious trauma, and we have an understanding, patient dentist & staff.

Mine has to go too and I'm dreading that. Does your son need to be put under? My grandson absolutely had to the last time, but most dentists won't do it.
