Adult son with asd

Dad, is that you?

Can you turn going outdoors into an adventure ?
What about pitching a tent in your garden in our hot weather.
Tell your son he is a soldier on a mission and must defend the camp ?
What about  overnight ? In the dark ? As  an ex scout i reckon this might bring a smile to your sons face.
Plenty of food and water, it might just " spark " an adventure in Him.
Just " something " to give Him that much needed adventure from His everyday life.
Hey, i am 50 and it still sounds exciting to me !
Best wishes.

How is his communication ability? Sometimes it is better to find out the reason. If he is just afraid of crowds, you can try taking him to a natural scenic spot or zoo to start.
