Am I asking too much, when I keep hoping my DS will develop age peer friendships? I was just listening in on him today, and what he says, although perfectly understandable to adults and older kids, must sound like jibberish to his peers. Discussing Haiti is friend mentioned millions dying which DS quickly corrected to "estimated 200,000" - not even sure where he heard this. He's not meaning to be argumentative or 'sound intelligent', he's just speaking in a way that's natural to him. As adults we know to simplify our language for kids, but can we really tell a kid to do this and expect him to be emotionally mature enough not to get an over inflated ego?
