I know, I am beginning to realize that. I don't want to mitigate my child's behavior, but trying to also see if there is some kindness and understanding left in people as my son is beginning to not value his life and he's just still a little kid.

Ok but General Parenting is shark-invested waters. I was trying to save you from attack. But, if you want to take your chances, I'll let you.

Jeff, before I wrote my post (about my friends telling their kids not to befriend my SN kid), I thought initially of putting it in the SN column. But I didn't because my problem isn't about what to do with my SN child. It's about how and why my friendships broke apart and DS' friendships broke apart with non-SN children. The non-SN children's parents were the driving force behind the split, so I want to understand the attitude and know whether such a non-SN reaction is justified. Granted, SN parents may react the same way as the non-SN parents but often times SN parents are much more forgiving and understanding about other kids' SN behavior. I am interested in understanding the reaction of non-SN parents. For this reason I posted in Genl Parenting- to get access to mostly non-SN parents. So can my post be transferred back?
