autism

Funny how different phases of life bring on  whole sets of different issues.  For many various reasons, most spectrum kids do not have pals to hang out with.  It goes along with the nature of the disorder.  For those children who do find that they desire some sort of interactive relationship they may expect their care giver/parent to full fill that void.    We don’t challenge them like a peer would so they get socialization on their terms.  While it is a great opportunity to spend time with them doing their preferred activities it can be extremely challenging to play every role in your child’s life.  It is also important to attempt to balance the activities to make them compromise somewhat because in the real world other people are not going to adjust their activities to completely suit your child’s desires.
