[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 469383"] Both my kids are on the spectrum and they are VERY social, especially when they are with kids that share their interests and/or are "followers". difficult child 1 especially tends to play with kids that have the same interests. If his interests change (his obsessions change periodically) then his circle of friends changes. As for difficult child 2, he is very social but prefers interacting with adults or much younger children. He gets easily frustrated by the "behavior" of kids his own age. This age discrepency in preference to the norm is what makes him Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in his social interactions. Good luck. The forms can be a pain and I would definitely ask how to address PAST resolved issues on the forms. [/QUOTE]
