[quote=Anonymous]19:33 here. My DD did consider the other girl a real friend and they shared a genuine friendship until we moved away. It had nothing to do with it being a fake friendship. My DD just understood the "rules' of social exchange in a way that the other girl didn't, so the therapist used interactions between the two as a way of showing - and having DD model - how a neurotypical child might react (appropriately) in certain situations. My DS has SN, and this is exactly why I like him to be in integrated settings - so he can see how NT children react and hopefully learn from their model. When he has NT friends to play, it's not that it's a "fake friendship" but is just giving him an extra "boost," at least potentially.[/quote]
