Well, it sounds like you have the right attitude, respecting their parents wishes. I'm sure you'll be able to get a better understanding when you talk to the parents. And I think it will be good for your son to meet other kids who have a similar situation. The neighbor kids sound like they have a good attitude about the diapers and if your son stuggles to find understanding friends, it sounds like the neighbors know others who won't judge.
