[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it's time to admit that you are no longer a good sounding board for her either. There's no fault in that; it is just the new reality. By all means grieve the friendship you used to have, but don't try to engineer what it is now. You should bring this up one time, tenderly, and see what happens. You can try and steer conversations away from kids by declaring 15 minutes of no kids talk when you get together or something like that. You can pull back, she'll notice and also grieve the friendship you once had. But her responsibility to her kid is foremost in her mind and that won't change. Depending on the severity of the ASD, this could be the case for the next couple of years, decade, or permanent.[/quote]
