[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are making a lot of assumptions, OP. You assume what your friend's daughter can or can't do based on your assumptions of her limitations and then you make assumptions of how she feels in reaction to you talking about what you assume to be your child's accomplishments. Take a step back and stop assuming you see the situation clearly and in its naked, objective truth. Listen to your friend and respond to what she says, not what you think she means. Don't hold back when it comes to discussing your daughter, which can be awkward, but be mindful of any hidden competition you may be fostering in your sharing. Talk to her directly, as a PP suggests, about your worry and discomfort about communicating well. All these steps might help you navigate this difficult space.[/quote]
