[quote=Anonymous]OP, parent of a child on the spectrum here. Have you tried to focus on what you can control vs what you can't? There are always going to be big logistical blocks in life that ou can't control (whether they are kids at the playground who are too young, etc). But I have discovered that it's a lot easier to parent a special needs child when I control what I can. We don't go to a lot of places other people take their kids, because it's just too hard. Costco, for instance. Kids concerts is another. Big playgroups don't work for us either, nor do things like soccer. Instead, we are working on our skills in more controlled environments. Then moving up to other activities when we master one. It sucks that we can't do the same stuff other kids can. But we are working on it and hope that as the months/years go along, we will be able to do more and more as my child's skillset grows.[/quote]
