My son is 51/2 and has Autism. He goes to a special ed. school. He generally doesn't have any behavioural issues. We have had a diagnosis from 3 and have worked hard with him. However recently he doesn't want to leave the house. If I say "ok let's go for a spin to the park/shops/granny's." He becomes very upset and anxious. Moaning and whinging he doesn't want to go out and wants to stay at home. It's not a full meltdown but he can be upset until we get home. It's becoming exhausting and I will confess that I think twice before going out with him as he gets so anxious every time. Do any of you experience this and if so is there any advice you can
Offer. TIA
