Hi,
Mum of a 7 year old ASC (high functioning) wonderful boy. He exhibits challenging behaviour which means he can be physical at times- especially under stress. Dentist and vaccinations being somerhing that causes him a great deal of stress! GP is useless, I need someone who understands Autisim to give him his Covid Vaccinations. Im based on South Coast uk- anyone have any ideas?
Husband also has a hard time coming to terms with our sons diagnosis and cries every time something happens. He loves our son unconditionally but gets so upset when something happens as he is sad for our son. Any suggestions for support for him- to bring him on the journey I am on?
Thanks for any suggestions and Lovely to meet you all.
Is he at risk of severe Covid illness? My daughter had her first dose but she wouldn’t let go of her arm to let them give the second. They have to be totally compliant otherwise the needle might break off in their arm so I’ve just made the decision not to force her in case she ends up scared of doctors and nurses entirely. Also sounds like your husband probably needs some counselling to talk to someone impartial about why he gets so upset
