[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some people who cannot have my SN child in their home (in my case. Child is messy and destructive, not aggressive)

& that's fine. We meet outside. They also have to act with consideration. [/quote]

Can you please stick to the topic?  Destructive is being aggressive.  I have a SN child and years ago we were friendly with another family with a child who was destructive and it greatly upset my child and we had to stop having that child over as the cost of the destructive behavior in terms of replacing and repairs and my child getting upset was not worth it.

Aggressive means hurting others directly. Destructive means hurting objects. It is not the same thing. My child is fine and easy to deal with outside.

Again, you have to do what is right for your child. But destructive and aggressive are totally different things. A child can hit or insultothers yet play nicely with toys, while an intensely sensory seeking, impulsive and clumsy child might mean well but cause damage wherever he goes. [/quote]
