I need advice on what to say to her or if I even say anything at all. My daughter is in kindergarten and friends with an autistic boy. She is one of two kids he interacts with. They have met there and been friends for 4 years now. Recently however she did express that she does not want to be his friend anymore because he insists on deciding everything. Where do they play, what do they play, whom do they talk to, where do they sit at lunch etc. She said she also wants to decide on things but when she does he gets a meltdown. If he is not playing with the other kid he accepts, he expects her to come to him and play the game he has chosen. How do I navigate this? How can I help her? I want her to show empathy but to be honest it seems a tid too controlling. She does feel bad when he gets a meltdown but says it has become to much as she gets no say what so ever. She feels trapped. So what do I tell her ?
