I can't get my 7 year old son to leave the house

Rachael50

Would love some advice on the following. I am a single mum of a u a yr old boy with autism.  At the start of the school year he was doing lots of clubs and I was working part time.   Then after Easter his Teaching Assistant went off sick.  He didn't bond well with the temporary replacement.  He became aggressive towards a child who wouldn't play with him .  He slowly dropped out of all his weekend and after school clubs and now refuses to leave the house.  I'm being driven insane  because I have to sit indoors all day every day now that the holiday has started.   My son is on the computer all day and seems quite happy to do that.   I can't carry on like this though.  If I force him to go outside he will be very aggressive towards me and will refuse to move.  What should I do?

  • My son was extremely aggressive when i made him go out at that age, now at 12 he is no longer physical with me but still lets the whole world know how unfair i'am making him go out! And the stares for me have not become any less uncomfortable, i just do my best to try not stare back! Yes, alot of people may think you have a brat of a child but just as many will realise there are underlying issues, something that has helped me a little. Best wishes, let me know how you both get on.
