[QUOTE="Ettina, post: 539223, member: 12668"] I have another question. How well does your difficult child understand the nature of his friend's disabilities? I had a mentally disabled friend at the same age, and I mostly just noticed that she had slurred speech and drooled (she had mild CP). I had the vague sense that she didn't understand things as well as most kids, but I really didn't have much of a clue what she did or didn't understand. Fortunately, I was pretty kind to my friends (it was authority figures or bullying that set me off) so even though I didn't understand her issues, mostly that meant that I'd talk over her level, she'd ask for clarification, and I'd give it. But it might be a good idea to ask your difficult child to describe, in his words, what is different about his friend. Maybe you can help to explain some of his friend's annoying behavior to him.
