[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 493037, member: 11339"] i started explaining it to difficult child's sibs when it became obvious. my 5yo was only 2 at the time but it was apparent to him that what difficult child was doing was not okay or what was expected and i had to do something to keep him from getting involved and trying to 'help mommy' and from copying it or thinking it was acceptable behaviour. things i have told him over the years are that difficult child can't think right, his brain isn't working right right now, that he has trouble understanding what is going on so he is getting angry about it and mostly just that he thinks different. i have also told them all about autism and it is pretty obvious to them that difficult child's problems are different than theirs even though they all have the same label. by four he is definitely old enough to know and understand and should have an explanation to give friends as well when they meet difficult child. mine are instructed to tell others that 'difficult child is autistic' which usually comes out as 'he is autism.' but hey that works too.
