Hi all! My 10 year old ds was diagnosed with ASD in Aug of this year. He is in mainstream school and he is high functioning .
My problem at the moment is his lack of coping skills. DS isn't one to have a meltdown but he shuts us out. Any bit of confrontation, frustration, anxiety and he runs off ....burries his head in the nearest cushion with his hands over his ears.....shutting us out.
My worry is that he doesn't have the coping skills to deal with any little thing that goes slightly wrong!
Did any of you have this?. If so , how did u help ur lo.?
I'm worried cos it's happening more and more. I feel he needs to find the resources within himself...or be thought these skills to get through his day.....I just don't know where to start. TIA
