[QUOTE="DDD, post: 537956, member: 35"] How wonderful that a social skills group is available. I drove youngest difficult child 3 hours roundtrip each Saturday for, I think, sixteen weeks to participate in such a group. It was costly and I couldn't afford to sign up for one more series. Sigh. on the other hand, it was of some value as the group learned to take turns listening and then sharing what they heard so the tdocs could help direct their reception. Go for it. One other suggestion that helped at our home. Prior to the arrival of company difficult child was encouraged to give me the toys that he was not prepared to share. I stored them in my closet out of view. That reduced the stress of playing with others. Lastly it may not be helpful in your case but I found it helpful to difficult child to discuss the differences in "nice" people. In scattered circumstances I had converesations about how others interacted stressing that not ALL kids liked ALL kids and how not ALL adults enjoyed ALL other adults. Using myself as an example on occasion I would say something like "I really admire how Mrs. Jones can garden and knit. She's a nice lady but I am interested in doing other acctivities like volunteering and cooking. Therefore we are acquaintances but not likely to be friends." It helped him recognize that not everybody loved everybody else. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
