Mrs. M,
I'm just sending you an email to update you on Kenny. Obviously for the past 3 weeks N and I got to spend a lot of extra time with our boys. And we both noticed a drastic sad change in our Kenny.
We've been watching him for some time, but it seems to have completely happened since he started 3rd grade.
He can't make eye contact with us. He won't talk to adults (even his beloved
Nana). It's almost like he can't do it.
He has a bad attitude and meanness that wasn't there before. Sometimes, he just
does things to be mean. He's not physical, but he can be really mean.
He has a lack of desire to leave the house. He has a lack of desire to do
ANYTHING outside.
He can't stand to be touched. Right now the only part of his body that he can
stand to have touched is the top of his head, part of his face and the bottom
part of his legs. I can't even hug my child.
All Kenny wants to do is read his books, play on his computer, play with Evan
(when Evan isn't being a "pest"), or just be left alone. He's been having
nightmares and is scared to death of being alone in the upstairs portion of our
house.
He can't function and he isn't coping. He's really struggling.
I've decided to have Kenny tested for Behavioral Disorders. I'm pretty sure he has social anxiety (he has extreme shyness inherited from his father). But I'm starting to wonder if he has Asperger Syndrome.
He has a regular checkup this Friday afternoon. I'll be picking him up at 3:00. If there is any information on Kenny (anything you've noticed) that you could send along so that I could share that with his doctor, I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Me

My poor Kenny. He just isn't coping. I was hoping he'd "grow out of it" but he's not. He's really struggling and there is no need. My poor baby.
