intro--and how do I deal with other cruel children

[Guest guest]

I am new here and looking for support. My son is being tested for Asperger's

syndrome. He is six years old and I won't even go into all of his quirks lol.

We have thought for sometime he might be on the pdd spectrum but no doctors

would listen. He was diagnosed with sensory integration disorder at age three,

and has been in therapy off and on since. My daughter who is three also has

sensory integration disorder along with some social delays but not near as

pronounced. I also have an eight months old who is showing some signs of

sensory issues (hopefully not!).

Okay, my current issue is children in our family that are singling my son out.

They don't want to play with him, so they trick him into staying in a room

(jail) while they go play something else. He doesn't even realize they are

being mean. Should I try to teach him to recognize mean behavior, or let him

keep on being naive about it? He seems happy for now. Also, should I approach

the parents or would that make things worse for him?
