[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 199473, member: 1550"] Thanks, Marg. He did do an ASDism yesterday. When I told him the boy's ties had to match the girl's dresses (as it is the custom here) and I told him to ask T. what color her dress is, he said, "That's why I don't want to go. It's too complicated." And I realized he was getting overwhelmed. His sister came to the rescue and called T., asking her the color of her dress...lol. He isn't going to the parade or the game, just the dance. T. has seven younger siblings (I think it's seven...lol) and she has to watch them a lot because her parents are divorced and mom works nights as a nurse. So she is kind of like a little mom with a lot of responsibility. This will be good for both of them. I'm so happy T. is his friend as she is very good at getting him to do things he normally wouldn't do. And I do think they like each other...lol :) These kids can really progress. I don't ever forget he has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but I also see that he can learn to do things. I remember when an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis was a death sentence. [/QUOTE]
