Adhd Eye Contact
adhd eye contact
How do I tell my friend that I don’t want to babysit her undiagnosed autistic son?
I’m 99% positive that my friend’s son is autistic (has poor communication skills, started speaking much later then other kids, doesnt make eye contact, focuses only on one thing). She doesn’t think so-she says if anything, he is ADHD and his special ed teacher would have said something by now. Since she obviously does not have any therapy for him, he is getting worse and worse. My son, who is the same age, notices something is wrong and does not like to play with him. When he comes over, the only thing that he wants to do is play Star Wars Legos Playstation. If we tell him no, or cut him off after awhile, he throws a mean tantrum and is inconsolable. He refuses to play anything else, will not listen or make make eye contact when you speak to him, will not have any conversation with you and will rip through the toy box, not play with the toys, but throw them around the room. How do I tell my friend in a nice way that I don’t want to watch her kid when she asks me to babysit?
He may have Asperger’s. Just tell her that you don’t feel competent enough to deal with her son. Make it about you so she doesn’t feel like you are dissing her kid.
