Being autistic and teasing..

[Guest guest]

oops.

first one went thru blank...sorry

Jacqui just got sent home from the neighbors because she & her friend

were teasing her friends older brother.

Now Jacqui doesn't understand teasing, so she doesn't understand that

she wasn't being nice....she just thought she was playing and having

fun.

I didn't punish her of course, but I did make her apologize to the

older boy and explained to her why she had to apologize.

What do you all feel about teaching your children to understand

teasing (giving and receiving). And how do you do it?

This is very, very hard.

Jacqui doesn't tease. She's not mean. She just imitates her peers.

Can I lock her in her room and not allow her to play with NT children

anymore?

Both of my neighbors are moving....Would anyone like to call dibs on

each house? Only condition is that you must have at least one

autistic child.

Penny,

This is a conundrum I'm facing, too.

learned " underwear head " and " poopie head " from the little brat next door,

and uses them liberally.

I've tried to say that the ONLY thing you should call a person is their name,

but I don't know if I'm getting through.

Sorry I can't help -- just wanted to let you know you're not alone in this one!

I try to tell Mitchel it's not nice. But he doesn't understand that he's hurting

feelings, he just thinks it's fun play. I really dunno!

Knowing I'm not alone DOES help, Jacquie...cuz that means there is

more than one head working on the problem....

thanks!
