Talk to your child's teachers and other adults your child may come in frequent contact with. Notify teachers and others of your child's special needs. Have your child invite a friend over and plan some activity that would be fun for both. Your child probably has feelings of inadequacy and shame, especially when they see their peers being successful and having a good time. Praise your child as frequently as possible, even for the smallest successes.
Small successes have a habit of developing into larger successes.
