[quote=Anonymous]I know the topic subject doesn't sound very good.  Let me explain.  My dc has a very good friend. They love playing together.  I think dc's friend has a mild form of autism.  (I'm very sorry in advance if I'm not using the terms correctly).  For the past few months, dc's friend has become more violent and having difficulty coping with anger or change.  DC's friend also talks about all these violent situations, like killing and hurting people.  Once dc's friend lashed out at dc and charged at dc because dc moved a lego piece.  My dc has started to become nervous playing with this friend.  There have been several instances now where dc has gotten hurt because this friend has lashed out at dc in frustration.  They are currently in kindergarten.

I don't know how to bring it up with the family without making them feel bad. I actually don't want the kids to stop playing with each other, but I need to know that DC will be safe at the same time.

Do you have any suggestions on what I can do, or what I can say?  I have tried to explain to dc that this friend doesn't always understand how to stop, but my dc is too young to understand why not.[/quote]
