[quote=Anonymous]You don't owe anyone explanations. If neighbor adults/kids ever ask, I would just say he is working on it.

My 4 year old loves her asd/adhd 7 year old brother a lot, and she has not seen anything differences of her brother compared to other kids. She has helped him indirectly to get more attention and meet new kids to play together at playground. It is easier for 2 kids to get a new kid interested to play together. Well, he sometimes ditches her once he finds someone to play, but she is happy playing solo or around him.

My little girl is a social butterfly, and she is friendly and cheerful to make new friends (younger or older) easily everywhere we are at. Asd kid have challenges understanding other people feelings or nonverbal behavior, and they don't understand that you don't say everything out of mind because some words are hurtful, silly or mean. Sometimes, I use his sister as a learning lesson telling my boy why/what he did making her sad, angry, happy, cry etc, and sibling cannot unfriend each other esp she is really forgiving.  My boy has casual friends at school, but no true close friends.  He is a bit shy, but he has learned that sometimes it takes some tricks and observation to make others wanting to play with you. I hope that your boy gets friend one day.[/quote]
