[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always assume kids like this are on the spectrum. I try to be polite, but redirect. [/quote]

I would also assume kids that prefer to talk to adults are on the spectrum.  They are probably changing the topic to talk about their special interest.

That being said, I think the best thing that you can do is to model with your own children.  What do you do when your kids come around while you are talking with your friend?  [/quote]

Please read a book of child development and educate yourself. This is completely normal behavior in young children. [/quote]

So? Just because it's developmentally normal doesn't mean it doesn't need to be corrected. That's basically the entire premise of parenting.[/quote]
[b]Please, could someone recommend a way to deter my DC from trying to converse with adults?[/b] He is extremely affable with both children and adults, and now I am wondering if our adult friends find him rude and annoying? If we adults are talking I do try to divert his attention and tell him to go play, which he usually does, but not always. Should I just tell him to quit talking to the adults or else we are leaving because he is so rude and inconsiderate? [/quote]

He doesn't need to avoid adults entirely, but he does need to develop the skill of reading when someone is uncomfortable with or trying to end/redirect a conversation.

The simplest place to start is to ask him how he would know if someone didn't want to talk to him, or wanted to end the conversation> Take what he says and go from there. It's a learning process. [/quote]
