Anyone else with advice/thoughts? I will send my friend this link so she can ready any/all replies.

DS6 is a perfectionist and not on the spectrum. He's also very sensitive (OE). He HATES to lose and has been known, at home at least, to throw a tantrum when he does (or throw the cards in and yell "I'm not playing anymore"). However, he's only had one public tantrum, when he was four, and had his first baseball game. Ever since, he's been on a losing team and has never had an issue.
