[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 495451, member: 13038"] We have these problems, too. It's a tough one. I'm not sure how old your daughter is or what her diagnosis is--but here's what's worked for us. We have much more success if we incorporate play into a family visit--our family might go socialize with another family with children. We (me or my husband) will hang around to help facilitate play. If our son does or says something--"I don't want to play with CARS! CARS ARE STUPID!" --we can offer a correction ("If you don't want to play with cars, say "I don't want to play with cars. Can we play "X" instead?") Then we try to steer them in the direction of they'll hopefully both like, like Wii or Nerf. It's not easy, I'll grant you that. [/QUOTE]
