It is my birthday tomorrow and I feel old now! It's my big 40th some and my husband are going away for the weekend. We only told our children yesterday, because we weren't sure what we could do and about childcare.
My daughter with autism is feeling very anxious, because this is a big change. Today, her Grandma is picking her and her sister up and they are spending the night there, then tomorrow morning, my parents, her nan and grandad, will pick them up and they will take them back home. My son and our dog is having to go to my husband's mum's house. Anyways, tomorrow we will be having family round to have a party.
I have discussed this with her and she says it fine but I can clearly see it's not. This weekend will be exhausting for her so how do I make it easier. She knows she can always go upstairs to her bedroom if she needs a break and all her sensory toys and weighted blanket are out and ready. Do I send her to school Monday? Like I said, she will be exhausted and the last thing I want to do is send her to school instead of letting her rest and recharge.
