[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with a pp who suggested to find a non child related activity. I am a mother of a NT 5 year old boy and one of my best friends is a mom of a 7 year old with ASD and seems like he may be similar to your child. We met in a social sports league and just hit it off. Our families get together and our children semi play together (her child does more of a parallel play than playing together). Anyways, my kid knows that Larlo's brain operates a bit differently and knows not to do certain "triggering" activities and behaviors around him. He also knows when to back off and give Larlo a break or when to get one of us. It can be challenging and it is certainly not smooth running all the time, but it works and both kids are happy. Slowly she and her kid are starting to make friends with the other moms in our group. Anyways, I'm sorry OP. Just want to give you some hope that there are some non bitches out there!!! [/quote]
