is there any parents who has a child diagnosed so young ? It’s heartbreaking watching / experiencing these meltdowns he has. Is there any way I could somehow see the world or understand it from his point of view ? He’s struggling to cope daily with most activities
There's loads of info on this site, so have a good look around. Routine is very important, even small changes can be distressing. I found that talking to my son whilst at the same time using actions helped him to understand when he was non verbal. I would say "let's get your coat whilst at the same time taking his coat off the peg".. Pecs are also useful. Don't try to learn too much at once, bit by bit is a better way.
Thank you
