[quote=Anonymous]Since you weren't specific about what you meant by troubling behaviors, its hard to respond. Does he perseverate, get caught in repetitive loops of behaviors or conversation topics? Really, NT kids would get pretty bored pretty quickly trying to imitate what our kids with AS do. I don't mean to sound sarcastic but Aspergers isn't contagious. My son with AS has had friends his whole life and participated in therapies like this when he was younger and none of the NT kids he played with could ever be mistaken for having any of his behaviors. Just tell your son he's going on playdates. You can also tell him the adult is there because his friend is learning better ways to play. Thats enough. Keep it simple. If this other child is a friend you don't want to make him seem like a freak.[/quote]
