For context my DD (12) is ASD has become friendly with another child.
However I am now regretting that this friendship began for 2 reasons: 1) the child teases DD to the point of tears and seems more interested in using DD computer ( they don’t have one) when visiting rather than seeing/ playing with DD. The child has also made vexatious allegations the DD is a bully.
The child is also ASD so it is difficult.
2)The real problem is the child’s mother, she has told me that she is “pushing” the friendship as her DD had problems with other NT kids.
Her DD will turn up Banging on our door unannounced with the the mother sat in the car. I am trying to establish boundaries now, so will not allow DD to play with the the child unless it is prearranged. My DD no longer expresses an interest in visiting/ playing with the child, but will engage with the child when participating in a Planned group activity.
When I have feedback regarding her DD behaviour she gives me a the hard stare. I feel that we have been thrown together due to circumstances, I dread having to talk to her.
Unfortunately we are both involved in a small local charity, which meet up weekly so wouldn’t really be able to avoid her. I don’t want to stop attending to avoid her.
