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

Oatie

  • Hi oatie , we have so much in common with our twin boys .. i'm just glad that although the twins are just 4 the non asd is so understanding when it comes to play dates (they just dont exist ) . My 3 younger boys including the asd twin all enjoy playing out the back with in the garden with their friends but when it becomes too much for him he comes in to play on the pc or listen to his music earphones ... this is working for the moment but may not next week .. my non asd is lucky as he has a great friendship with his older brother too and will easily join in with all his friends the way that asd cant ..it is a concern for me that my non asd wont be allowed to become indepenant of his twin but i have asked that when they begin school next week that they are seperated in class which will be a big stress for asd but it has to be done as i dont know what the future holds whether he will be able to remain at mainstream or not .. its great to hear everyone goes the same things xxx
