<p>Very helpful advice and info. Thanks!</p>
<p>I did put him in a therapy for a couple of years but it didn’t help much. He seems to be more social and happier after transferring to the state U. </p>
<p>Yesterday he sent out 3 applications for the summer intern, two of which require Mandarin. A good sign! He also plans to go back to school a week earlier, when the faculty start the new semester, to consult with them. All these are his own decisions and I of course provide some support, such as getting a nearby motel before the dorm reopens.</p>
