[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of two ASD children, I want to thank the OP for the post. It is very tough to worry about whether your kid will at least have one friend. I think it is very tough to teach young children about kids who seem different. I also agree with the poster who said that the typical child might be fearful, because the SN child does seem different. My children are not obviously SN, and I have had to explain to them about children who are different from them. For example, why their friend needs to be in a wheelchair. It is hard for them to understand. I always tell my kids that everyone always has something they need to work on. Just recently, I explained to my son that while his brain sometimes tells him to look at clocks, is friend's brain tells him to focus on something else (i.e., lining up cars). The more exposure kids have, the better.[/quote]
