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,

    Thank you for your reply. I'm not surprised you feel you're on pins the whole time it sounds like you have a lot of children round your house a lot of the time, I know this would add greatly to my stress levels so maybe you should tell them to b*ugg*r off some of the time, but I know what it's like at the same time you want your kids to have friends and fun. Where are these other kids parents, can they not come along and help out sometimes?

    What is your boy like with games? Does he get stressed out? Whats he like with losing at games? This is something that sets my lad off.

    Also I take it from the cute puppy picture you're a dog lover as am I. Do you have a dog and if so what is your son like with him? We have a dog and no matter how much my son kicks off and shouts and screams and hates us he is always kindness itself to the dog. Is this common with AS people do you know?

    Sorry for the twenty questions it's just so nice to have a chat with someone who knows. Thanks.
