[quote=Anonymous]OP it is clear you care a lot even though your choice of words and title may not have been ideal. Take autism or any dx out of the equation. You have concerns about how your friend's child is treating yours. You have a right to protect your child. I would calmly share some of what you observe recently, ask for new suggestions, see if anything they do helps and then take a break if needed.

I know how awful this can when a close friend is involved. My best friend's child always did concerning things with my child with SN, but they usually could get him to shape up. Then he bullied my child with SN right in front of us verbally and physically and I had to jump in because it was a potentially dangerous situation that could have physically disabled my child. He was unapologetic and they were so shocked they could not say anything. We took a break.

Eventually my dear friend reached out to me to plan things just us or meeting up as couples at night if we both can get sitters. Worked well. The "bully" has grown up a lot and when we finally got together with the kids it was fine.[/quote]
