[quote=Anonymous]You have to intervene and be clear. It cannot happen. My child with ASD did this at 6 or 7 and we made strict rules. It worked. He was had a friend become obsessed with him at around `13 or so and it drove him nuts. The mom did not intervene, in fact she started obsessively contacting me when my child and I both had already declined. We were clear. Neither of us said "maybe next time" or anything to leave the door open. My son would have been friends with this kid if it were not so suffocating. He had other friends and was sick of the crying/demanding and obsessive texting after he asked the boy to stop. I agree with the poster who said this whole business of "I don't get involved" only works if your kid is developmentally ready. If your kid is doing something that makes other kids very uncomfortable, get involved and stop it.[/quote]
