[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read most of these threads, but I don't understand why the OP thinks it is OK to discuss someone else's child on a public forum and why she thinks she deserves to have more information about this child.  Pay attention to your own child, the other child is not your business. [/quote]

She's discussing an unnamed child on an anonymous board. She is asking for information because she wants to know how to navigate the relationship with the other child. It is her business and her questions and approach are completely kosher.

You and many people on this board are being over-sensitive. I've got a kid with HFA.   I'm 100% sure that many worse conversations have been had about my kid, by name, behind his back and behind my back. My kid is different. People are going to talk about that. Get over. it. [/quote]

As a parent with a child diagnosed with ADHD and PDD-NOS, I agree totally. And, if parents of your child's friends are turned off by you, rightfully or not, those children are not going on any playdates outside of school.  At least the OP inquired and didn't automatically rule out the playdate.

I was fortunate that my child was able to have playdates with children who have similar special needs, and even a couple NT kids. As long as he is getting the social interaction, building relationships and is safe and happy, it does not matter if his friends have special needs or not.

On the other hand, I understand OP's question. My son was friends with a child who had severe behavior issues and could get violent. His parents tried hard to have playmates for him with positive influences, and the mother pushed the friendship. After a while, my son mainly went because he felt sorry for the child, who only became worse. He later told me that he didn't always want to go because he felt pushed to do so by me. That shouldn't have happened, and I feel rather guilty about that.  [/quote]
