[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continue to include them as the years go by and insist that your children do so.[/quote] +100 Your friend may end up losing other friends, so they need you even more. Just as a friend. A tolerant friend.[/quote] Listen to her if she wants to talk about it but don't push. Take your lead from her. You can read up on articles but don't quote them to her. She is going to be reading more than you are. You aren't and won't become an autism expert and she has real professionals who will be advising her. Totally agree with the pp's that what she and her family will need is a friend. Even though we don't have an autism diagnosis, we lost a lot of friends over the years and it's hard. We treasure the families who treat my ds like one of the gang, especially as he's getting older and doesn't have many friends at school.[/quote]
