[quote=Anonymous]With ADHD and austistic kids it can be hard to interpret when they are hearing and processing what you say. The parents are likely exhausted and feel shut out by their children.

It might help to first acknowledge that you see how difficult it is to connect. If they get help learning to really see and understand their own kids, it is possible they will discover the kids have taken in much than they realize or seem to show.

If you can somehow help them (take the kids, find behavioral therapists and give them a list of people you investigated, etc.) get the support to flip  from anger and frustration that’s only reactive, to learning how to structure interactions with their children, that might help.

Some people on the autism spectrum internalize other people’s behavior deeply. Even when you don’t read it on their faces. You’re right. You’re niece is not learning how to interact in a compassionate human way.

Sympathy for their struggle and helping them find support could help.[/quote]
