help struggling

james seems to be getting worse at the moment, wont let us cuddle him, he just leans in to us so we have to put our arms round him, he wont let us give him a kiss keeps saying kisses tickle, even if you touch his arm says ouch tickles, last few nights he gets distressed in bed because he feet and legs tickle and bed tickles, tickles we think means feels uncomfortable I think, he can only wear certain footwear only light footwear, this morning he stood and lined all his red cars up, its starting to get upsetting that I cant even have a proper cuddle off my son, we not due back to peads june/july this year, but that's gonna be stressful because james has changed soo much since January and not in a good way frown emoticon, been having load of meltdowns lately which haven't been like that in a long time

currently being assessed for autism he is 3 years old

  • He may be finding nursery too stressful, so shutting down whilst there, then letting it all out when he gets home.  It's a bit like when we bottle something up all day at work + then let off steam when we get home.  He may get wound up about going also.  How much does the nursery understand about autism + how it affects him as a person?  What arrangements have they made for him whilst he's there, such as a quiet area?
