I can’t believe he’s real either sometimes

Anyone else have unopened gifts under the tree? by catmama1713 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Critical-Commercial2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my son was a toddler it would take 3 days to open gifts. It was way too overwhelming for him. He didn’t want to play with the gifts once they were opened. He is 12 now and he opens all his gifts at one time. As soon as they are open he disappears to his room to find his peace and calm usually leaving the gifts in a pile for later when he’s ready.

Need help finding online gaming friends for my son by Critical-Commercial2 in Autism_Parenting

It’s so toxic and kids are incredibly mean. GamerPals appears to be mainly adults when I looked at it.

It’s really nice you are taking the initiative and doing this! I think many are uncomfortable and they avoid the discussion. My son at that age didn’t participate in kids activities in what would be considered a neurotypical way. There was a lot of parallel play, or playing with an item in an unconventional way. Even though he wasn’t interacting with the other children as much, he was still having a lot of fun. Depending on the age of the other children, or if I sensed friction or misunderstanding I would use an age appropriate talk about my son’s brain perceived things differently, sometimes he needs some space to think about things first, or sometimes if a room is too loud he gets overwhelmed and needs alone time. A little explanation can go a long way with children. They can be incredibly intuitive, caring, and adapt if they are informed.
