[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 743927, member: 23103"] You have a fine line to walk. But the bottom line (to me) is that regardless of autism spectrum if she wants friends she needs to learn empathy and how to behave towards others. Kids will not make excuses for her disability they will walk away and say."nope. not playing with her she's mean". Maybe discourage competitive play? I don't know. My son who has physical disabilities had an autistic and a friend with downs (they are adults now) K (autistic) was similar to your daughter, they would game and he would melt down when my son kicked his butt in a video game.. A (my son) would always tell him to get over it or don't play, funny to hear my son "I've got one hand and I am not giving you a win" His mom's attitude--"Suck it up" Guess what..that boy.man is a pharmacist! he had to learn to deal with people and conform. I truly think that many on the autistic spectrum are way above "normal" intelligence but they get held back because socially they have a hard time conforming. I am not therapist. I just know what I see. I have been around a lot of different disabilities on a daily basis. I really believe that sometimes we only see the disability and don't see how much extra the individual was given in ABILITIES to make up for the disability that made some things tough. Maybe she isn't being intimidated or ambushed maybe she just wants to win. period. She needs to learn winning and loosing are all a part of life. NO body like to loose. NO body likes to feel ambushed. Everybody wants to be 1st. We never allowed our son to play the disability card. You can help her learn to empathize and is she can't feel that I sure hope she can learn right from wrong because going off on someone you call your friend is just wrong. Will she understand the , "How would you feel id friend 2 scolded, got mad at you like that?" Good luck. raising a child with any kind is different-ness id tough. [/QUOTE]
