Everyone since this whole thing with Gavin and *boundary issues* started a few months ago, Elliott has become an extreme *tattletale*.
We had a talk with Elliott many months ago about not keeping secrets from us. Gavin had once again begun having *issues* with respecting personal space and inappropriate touching. Elliott was a target for those issues.
When we found out, we met with Dr. Pattie and had a long talk with Elliott about not keeping secrets and no one being allowed to touch him etc.
Since then, Elliott has become very good at *not* keeping secrets. In fact, he has taken to almost constantly reporting everything that happens.
He has become a *tattletale*.
What started out as simply wanting him to tell us if Gavin did something that made him uncomfortable has turned into a constant stream of tattling. It's actually become a problem and it's one of our own creation.
Do you folks have to deal with any *tattletales *in your house? How do you explain the difference between good tattling and bad tattling to a child on the #Autism spectrum?
