OK.
So, ds1, 9, has only one friend as he has Aspergers. He goes there, friend comes here, all nice- I ensured friend's mum knew about the diagnosis early on.
I went to collect Thursday and DS1 and friend were playing several minutes walk from the house, out of sight and hearing of friends parents: besides a roadside- a quiet one but a road nevertheless.
DS1 says he thought it was OK as they were playing outside a TA's house and had popped in and out. But he knows he cannot go out alone- he gets DLA because of his unpredictability and it is an absolute no-no.
I'm not feeling angry at Mum becuase she's Eastern European and I have a feeling that I should have double checked whether she understood me as I know her English isn't great- I am though a bit as I would never let a child visiting here out without checking with the other parents (nobody here plays out, no safe areas really and too many pubs etc- just not a culture of it).
I've said to ds1 that friend will have to come here for the foreseeable future but do I let him back? I don't particularly want to approach her over it as ds1 doesn't have any other friends and I dont want to have him further alienated. WWYD?
