[quote=Anonymous]PP here, with the DD who was the NT playdate for the child with AS. I guess I'm confused, OP, why you feel you need to explain the situation to your DS beyond that he is going to play with his friend. I mean, you said in your first posting that he IS friends with this child, right? So if he is friends with him, I'm not sure why you feel you need to explain how John is different and needs your DS's help. In our case, I told DD that she had been asked to go play with Jane (not real name) at Miss Tina's office on Tuesdays, and off she went, happily, to play Candyland or whatever games they played. No explanations, no discussion about how Jane was different, no clue to her that this was anything other than a normal situation. Maybe your DS is more "awake" than DD was at 5 (and 6) but she never questioned why they played at Miss Tina's and she certainly never raised herself that Jane was "different." [/quote]
