I feel the same way. My son is 5 and started kindergarten this year. He cried him self to sleep the other night saying the kids were calling him evil. We have one great friend who has seen the good, bad, and the ugly. She plays with him at home and at school. His teacher said there is a girl in his class that they play well together. With Bug I see how he can be demanding, wanting the play to be only his way, when i see that I try to correct him and remind him that we need to treat the other kids the way we want to be treated. One on one play seems better for us.
It's SO hard! Some days I just want to cry.

I am feeling very sad. I am curious if anyone's children with ADHD/ODD have trouble with peer relations? My 9 year old son never seems to have many play dates. I know that he can be very overbearing sometimes but it breaks my heart that he has the biggest heart of gold and tries so hard but usually only gets together with one friend. He mentions kids at school (friends) birthday parties and wants to get the child a gift but I know that he was not invited. Any suggetions on forming play dates that you know kids may be hesitant to have with your child??????? HELP!!

My sons 7 now seems to have few friends and can say he has problems with most social interaction with kids at school cause he either punches them ties them to trees, or spazzes out on them. I myself don't even know what i can do to help, He does as well mention people at school as you stated but i as well am clueless on what i should do.But he does have 1 girl who seems to watch over him at school during the good and the bad. But it hurts me more then him i feel to see him have these days where he may not cry but i want to cry for him.
