[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of DC w ADHD who *treasures* being invited over to someone's house, I can understand your wanting your DS to have those experiences too.  And when there seems to be a "place" within reach for those playdates to happen, and they aren't panning out, I can see it is frustrating and hurtful.

I think one of the things we learn as SN parents is structuring the environment for our DCs.  My DC ADHD needs a lot of stimulation and entertainment.  We are constantly finding to do's and seeking out friends to join in. It could be that an ASD parent structures and sets up for success in a different way.

I would honestly be truthful with this parent.  It seems like an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.  Express that your DC needs/would like to experience the independence that comes with a play date at someone else's house.  Explain that you can give some pointers on how to make it a successful get together if they are not used to ADHD kids.  Explain that you feel things are skewed.  [/quote]
