hi, i so hear you and can relate to everything you are sharing. my biggest fear, too, is that my son will be alone in the world. for him, spending time alone is easier than being with others. i do my best to recognize that he does best in “controlled” social situations — such as playing music with others or singing in the choir. i see at these types of functions, he is social, and he shares that he is social at school. but weekends are unscheduled typically, and he goes to his comfort of playing video games.
i have a friend with a son who is out of college now.
