[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 537916, member: 11791"] Well, yes it's a problem, or a challenge - whatever word you want. But there are probably several factors, and one of them will be some level of hypersensitivity on J's part, to subtle cues the other kids put out... but he doesn't know how to react to these. It was hard for me to help difficult child with this, because I *don't* see these subtle things. But we found somebody who does... and that therapist explained to ME that this is what was going on... So, possible explanation is that these two older kids were on the surface polite and socially appropriate, but really didn't want to be there nor playing with a "little kid"... and J picks up on this, and reacts strongly. But everyone else only sees the strong reaction. Even the other kids will not be aware of these subtle signals. Yes, he has to learn how to do the social "dance"... the interplay of surface politeness that makes the social world go around... without giving up on his highly-perceptive self. [/QUOTE]
