Hi All
I'm new here but am hoping someone may be able to help. My son has recently been diagnosed with ASD. He will be 4 in August and wants to be independent (like the other children) when walking to school. I want to support this independence however one of my main concerns for him at the moment is his lack of road safety, even though I have tried to explain to him the danger as you can imagine he struggles with the concept, this has resulted in having to take the car to school instead of walking.
He has a rountine of counting and jumping from the curb and when he is doing this has no awareness of the traffic and the danger as he is only focussed on his task. I have tried to distract him when possible but if he can't do his rountine he will throw himself on the road!!! Apart from strapping him to my back I am running out of ideas.
If anyone has any tips of how to help with this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
