[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 543964, member: 8045"] My husbands family has this attitude that you musn't overprotect your children....You know the type of families where the kids must just string along and defend for themselves....They will be fine.....this is how live is attitude....So my brother in law youngest son is 10 yrs old now....and according to me he has definitly Aspergers or even lower on the spectrum! My mother in law is looking after their 2 boys now while they are having a trip overseas....My husbands brothers dont believe in taking kids with on nice, expensive holidays....no, just dump them with granny, even when they are only 1 week old! So mother in law thought it to be a good idea to let the nephews spend some time together while their parents are away...GREAT idea...my son is having a blast! BUT...we then planned for this brother in law son, the Aspie according to me, to come and have a sleep over at our home.....mother in law then went and planned 2 other sleepovers for this child for the 2 evenings before the sleepover with my son....They just dont even think about the sensory effect this might have on this child....Anyway.....we went to picture him up....I ask, does he have his clothing, exct?

So it turns out he is on medications for ADD....she gives it at night....I am like thinking....shouldn't he be taking it in the mornings!!!?? I ask if he takes antihistamins, because I know he is allergic ...Oh yes he does but its finish!!!! OMW!!!! So when we got home and they need to bath, I help him unpack his little bag with 'clothes'......There I find 2 adult daipers!!!! The poor child was so very embarressed!!!! He quickly put it back!!!!OMW....how can NOBODY tell me this!!!!!!This poor child was trying to avoid bathing with my son, avoiding going to the loo...All so my son wouldn't see he wears evening diapers!
