[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, PP 654. I totally get it what you are saying that Aspergers isn't contagious... and I hope it doesn't come across that way and truly apologize if it seems like I'm being sensitive... but I am ignorant, and trying to learn more.

The behavior I'm talking about that I find troublesome is more that the kid has some pretty incredible tantrums at times. And my son is (overly, at times) sensitive and I can see him being really disturbed by that (since I am myself) and want to know the best way to explain it.

Since both my kids are NT as far as I know I'm kinda going on intuition vs. educated and informed thinking here. My intuition is to say 1) yup, all kids are different and he's learned to have better behavior and 2) thats why the aide is there and 3) aren't you lucky b/c you get to play with both of them.

It totally makes sense to me that I don't want to stigmatize, label, etc... esp. because I don't even know what the other kid's udnerstanding is of his diagnosis...

I'm going to look at the links. In the meantime any and more recs that help me 1) help this other kid and make teh most of the time in a sensitive way an 2 )hep my child become friends with the other boy while recognizing that his behavrios aren't always the best- should we need to discuss  that - very welcome![/quote]
