Honestly it didn’t help that mom and dad are both very much stay in the house and play on the PC or watch tv types. Very little friends with kids his age. They also had TERRIBLE social skills themselves. So much of that stuff is taught by observation and when you don’t have good role models to see how people are SUPPOSED to interact with friends or family, then you lose of lot of that innate ability.
I unfortunately got to my stepson what feels like YEARS after that tipping point where it was already ingrained into who he was which just makes it a constant uphill battle after unless you get lucky.
