[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 433311"] Yes, as was said these kids especially tend to take phrases in a very literal sense. Most of the therapists and testing doctors I've seen or taken Kiddo to introduced themselves by their first names instead of Dr So-and-So, so maybe try using just the first and last name rather than any titles when you do tell him where you're going. "We're to see John Smith, he would like to meet you." As for [I]when[/I], every kid is different. Mine has told me she wants to know, but not until after school on the day of, then she's not fretting about it prior to that. When he goes to the pediatrician or dentist, what timing have you found works best? You already know how to handle him for those, so that's a good dry run to try out different timing, or ask him how much warning he wants on when his next appointment with a known doctor he would prefer. I'll take it as a given you know now not to let big sis know anything and to be more careful that she doesn't overhear anything either. [/QUOTE]
