Hi all
my 10 year old son is autistic (high functioning)
he is pretty good as long as things are ticking along nicely. I just never quite know when enough is enough. For example bedtime. I ask him to clean his teeth, we then usually have a book or chat and then it’s time for him to settle down to sleep. that’s the routine.
however sometimes he we say things like oh I just need some cereal or I just need to sort through all my Pokémon cards. This easily becomes an issue for him and he becomes stressed. If I then say it’s a little late to be doing that now world war 3 can break out. So do I let him do it or do I continue with boundaries??
does this make sense ?
