[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa, lets step back for a bit here.  OP wasn't concerned about her DD being victimized by emotionally disturbed kids and i can see how the parents of such kids could take this assumption as a slur.  The idea that higher functioning kids are victimized by lower functioning kids is absurd, insulting and not at all what OP was getting at.

I wonder how many of the folks who are critical of OP have kids with ASDs.  I ask because as a mother of a DS with Aspergers I can't help but be anxious over any kind of social situation.  And I know I over worry, I know that I am vigilant over situations that are going just fine.  But sometimes I under worry as well, and he is in situations that aren't so fine.  It is really tough with these kids to find the right balance.

OP, just ride this one out for a while.  There is so much fluidity in boy-girl situations at that age, even for NT kids, that this will probably not amount to anything.  But it will give your DD some practice thinking about and talking about these situations.[/quote]

Well said!! I too am a mom of a DS with HFA which some call Asperger's and I relate. A sweet and well liked little girl in his class seemed to have a thing for him and I had to help him navigate the whole...please stop kissing and hugging me thing while also helping keep the friendship which he valued. I think OPs fears are reasonable and I wish I had something more helpful to say.[/quote]
