[QUOTE="Fran, post: 183030, member: 3"] Terry, I think my son has compassion and empathy but I don't think he has the social understanding on how to evaluate a situation and which response is required. I think role playing works wonders. Then repetition, repetition. Ex) my father was in his final hours of life in our home. difficult child didn't know what to do about it. His frame of reference for death were "ghosts". He knew this was an intense time but didn't know how to respond. I explained that this was my father and he was leaving us. I needed his support and his understanding at how difficult it was. The next day we had him practice his behavior at the funeral home. How to shake hands, how to thank people for coming, how to be social in an appropriate way. He did great. I'm not sure he felt like the rest of us felt but I know he was sympathetic and wanted to be appropriate out of respect for his mom and her family. [/QUOTE]
