[quote=Anonymous]It's not fair to your son or your sister to not tell her that he has Asperger's.  I'm surprised that you would withhold that information.  But the fact that you're doing that suggests that the differences between you are quite stark.

I may be wrong about this but I'm guessing that your sister doesn't think you set sufficient limits with your kids.  I say that because I had an old friend whose children ran all over her and her husband so I had to learn to limit the amount of time we spent with them when they visited the area.  If your sister feels that way, she should do something similar.

But since you know that you're unhappy with your sister's intervention, I suggest you structure your time with her accordingly so that you also limit the amount of time you spend with her.  Stay at a hotel and meet for meals or events but give your family a bunch of time separate from your sister and her husband.  That way you may be able to enjoy her company but reduce her interference with your parenting.  That's how I learned to enjoy my old friend's visits.[/quote]
