[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like your concern relates to one family so why are you making it about all SN families?[/quote]

I’m not making it about “all” families. We have families in our life that do disclose. I am trying to understand why parents may not, when it would only help the situation. We are always flexible and kind with this kid, and I feel a very flexible and kind home. I am asking ALL parents because I would like different insights. Everyone has a different story. Is that so wrong? [/quote]

And I am NOT saying I need particulars like dx - I just would like to know that she needs x,y,z. Or sometimes x,y,z happens. We have seen this kid in full meltdown when her bike “doesn’t go the right way” and I get it. Just tell
Me she needs x brand of chips in x flavor so I can make the evening easier on her and on my kid. [/quote]

Nobody actually knows that though OP. There’s not a secret instruction manual you aren’t getting. [/quote]

The parents do though, as kid says she gets x,y,z every day. If that’s what she gets, why would
You not set (or WANT to set) everyone up with success for the 4 days she was here? [/quote]

sigh. I guess you’re totally uninterested in listening. PS having the kid exposed to other households and have to ask for what she wants is GOOD for her. you also don’t have to give any child exactly what they ask for. the snack isn’t medicine. [/quote]

+1. Part of what makes playdates good for all kids, either SN or NT, is the chance to experience things that are different from home, a look at how other families operate.  The child didn't get her preferred snack at your house, she survived, everything is fine.
I don't think for most SN it's encouraged to cater to all of a child's quirks, gently challenging them is sometimes preferable.[/quote]

She survived, but it was a very difficult 3  hours for her, me, and my child as she was uncomfortable and hungry. This wasn’t something I was being paid for, and actually lost work time for. My child lost out on her regular playtime with other friends.

Why leave it to someone else *without them knowing* that you were challenging your kid?

Again, happy to help but disclosure in how to make it better would
Have made it so much easier on everyone . [/quote]

Sorry and that was 3 hours, several times this week. So let’s say 12 hours. [/quote]
