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

  • Thanks..he's had a terrible night..breathing still ok but a horrendous temp and very lethargic.

    I don't think he slept more than a couple of hours and I was up most of the night trying to calm him. He keeps hitting himself as the spots are everywhere now and very sore/itchy...if he's not on the mend by tomorrow I will take him back to the Doc's monday morning. Poor kid 

    We've had no hossie for 4 months and I know what you mean by the miracle thing...usually we are in every 4 weeks and if we are lucky over the summer it can lengthen to every 9 weeks at best..so I am hopeful we may have a better winter this year. O in particular gets very frightened when he's ill, he worries I'll not come in the ambulance etc..I always go but it scares him..the unpredictabiliy of his health is hard for him to deal with.

    Mind you I struggle with it myself! So why I expect a 5yr old to do much better is beyond me  .

    Keeping my fingers crossed for a better nights sleep.
