Anyone got a plan?

Oatcakes

Ok I have one very happy go friendly twin and one with possible ASD..so how do other parents in this situation manage playdates and friends round.

My poor kid is wittless and I'm not far off...how to I make sure one kid is happy and socialised and the other gets some quiet time in the day.

O keeps getting dragged into games..he goes willingly but soon has reached his thresh hold and ends up over wrought and in tears.

Tried a quiet morning and a play afternoon..but it's touch and go at the moment as I can sense his thermometer rising with his voice. If I bring him in he thinks he's done something wrong and is sad he can't play..but if I leave him out playing he is over excited and screaming by bedtime.

How do the rest of you cope with the different needs of your children.

Thanks

  • Hi Oatie,

    I don't really have any advice for you sorry as I'm struggling a bit myself but just wanted to say hello and I can sympathise with you.

    My son is 8 and has had a vague diagnosis of AS. It is his birthday in a couple of weeks and is wanting to have friends round after school for a bit of a party etc we did this last year and he seemed to be in tears most of the time and really stressed so I can appreciate what you say about your boy and his play with friends.

    I don't know about you but find the constant tantrums exhausting and you have it worse with having twins all be it that one is easy going.

    Any way we plod on. Thank you and best wishes
