Any tips on how I can deal with my ds.
If he doesn't like someone (for example a classmate) he will avoid them, if asked by an adult (teacher/classroom assistant/parent etc) why he won't play with x.
He will respond with 'I don't like them because of ...'
The because of can be 'they are immature, they bore me, they smell or whatever reason'.
This has got him into trouble, and has caused other parents to take offence. He doesn't mean to cause offence, he doesn't say it unless directly asked the question.
His responses are fact.
If it's they are immature they do act younger than their age, if they bore him they bore him, if they smell they do smell.
How can I help him, what is an acceptable response? Is there an acceptable response?
