[quote=Anonymous]My ds has epilepsy and learning disabilities. He is very sweet and kind but also very immature and naive. He has a nice group of neighborhood friends (mostly younger) but school friendships have been difficult. He seems drawn to kids who end up using him. Sometimes it's so they can play with his stuff or In the past, I have asked him how he knows when someone is a friend and he said if they talk to him, they are his friend. Most recently, a boy was asking ds to buy snacks from he cafeteria for him and give him an expensive light saber we have. But, otherwise doesn't ask him to play. He also scribbled an unkind name on ds's notebook. We talked about how friendships aren't one sided and unfortunately some kids will take advantage of his kindness and those aren't tru friends. What should I do? I get so worried about him as he gets closer to middle school.[/quote]
