[QUOTE="Andy, post: 175770, member: 5096"] Would it help to limit the times of the visit? Explain to your family that difficult child loves to have them around however, he gets overstimulated easily and too much of a good thing is proving to be too difficult for him to process. Let them know that you also love their visits, however, to make life easier for difficult child, can you work out a schedule? Have you noticed how long it takes for him to start acting out? Maybe adding some structure to the visits for difficult child? Have set snack and meal times and perhaps quiet times. These may be an easy way for the visit to end or for all to settle down and start over? Maybe a more structured visitation. When aunt/uncle come over, you may play a board game or play catch? If they are coming up with their own fun, there may be some disagreements? Maybe difficult child was looking forward to a certain activity but aunt/uncle decided not to participate. Then difficult child will be very disappointed. I know my difficult child gets upset if guests don't want to do what he planned. I don't know - it is sometimes very difficult to get the other person to understand that you are not angry but you have noticed that it is getting too much for difficult child and you need to do what is best for him. Their visits must get frustrating for them also when he starts feeding on them? This may make for more enjoyable visits for everyone? [/QUOTE]
