[quote=Anonymous]I agree that posting in special needs will yield better responses. Also keep in mind there is one troll or triggered old bat that jumps on every thread to say the boomer behaving badly is never wrong, force your children to endure whatever nastiness they fling etc etc.

As to what to do, I think having a clear and very direct conversation with grandma about her getting in peoples faces and constantly talking without allowing escape is important. She is cognitively capable of understanding what you are saying. I would also be clear that no one enjoys this but an autistic kid can’t bear it. Tell her that you understand it may be a habit for her but if she can’t control herself you will intervene. The next consequence is that grandma doesn’t get to visit the kid in person until he’s older.

On the next visit, try to set them both up for success. Follow the other posters advice to create physical barriers between them. Play cards at a table, don’t let her sit next to him, direct her and him to locations where she can be managed and he can be removed.
