Ds and dd at the play area today

[someoneoutthere]

At the soft play area today, I was just watching ds and dd playing. DD being the social butterflies she is, was after making friends and soon was playing with a girl of her age. Ds was playing by himself again as usual. Suddenly dd brings her friend over to ds and says-

Meet my big brother ds
The girl asked ds "what is your name"?
Ds sceams -no
Dd:my mum says ds don'ts talk much.
The girl- what is your name?
Ds-"ds" in a very squeaky voice
The girl- what is your name
Ds- "ds" in a very clear voice

It made me so happy to see ds responding to a child especially a complete stranger. He normally ignores any child talking to him and this was completely unprompted. I had to share!!

Lovely, and a good idea from zzzzz.

hi , my son 8 is and wants to interact with kids all the time but thay often dont know how to take him ,,,,but at the same time walking past kids he know's from the school will say hello to him and he will just walk on not even looking up at them .. he dose this with adults to even my self when i'd drop him off at school saying good bye i get no response . as done this from a very young age .:)

Thats such a nice story - well done to your DS :)

well done little someone!

Thank you everyone, it's so nice to be able to share with people who understand. Ds most of the times responds to adult, but completely ignores children.

Just saw this post! Its a lovely story! awwwww

Well done to him And to your DD for introducing him

What a great step forward. Well done little someone!

Thank you for sharing and making me smile.
