Please help! Any ideas on calming an upset 3yr old with Aspergers??

dannysmum09

Hi, we're really new to this, our son is still waiting for formal diagnosis but is often anxious and upset - he can't yet explain what is bothering him and we're often unsure what to do. Going out is becoming more stressful despite explaining things to him and sometimes nothing seems to calm him down. Any tips or advice massively appreciated!!

  • Thanks for advice, we have a routine throughout week, he knows exactly what happens on each day but weekends tend to vary. The main problem is that they are telling us he is low level on the spectrum which is good but we are finding it hard to tell what is down to his Asbergers and what is just 'normal' 3 yr old behaviour. It feels like since we started to give him more allowances his behaviours are more difficult to manage. Just really confused when to insist he follows an instruction or whether to give in because he's upset...
