My ds is 4 1/2 and has autism. He's behaviour has improved massively over the last school term due to the fantastic amount of help they've given him though he still has his moments.
This morning he was playing a game on my phone when I told him to finish up. Gave him plenty of advanced warnings & he knows he drill. He kept hankering for "one more go" until I told him firmly no more at which point he threw the phone (just on the bed, no harm done) and hit me on the arm. At this point phone gets confiscated & I tell him no more for the rest of the day & the tele goes off.
He keeps asking for the tele to go back on & when I try & explain why it's off he just doesn't "get it" and keeps asking to turn it back on. Im trying to explain there's no tele because he hit me but now he's gone off to play with something else like nothing happened,
Majorly frustrated, any tips on this? I really don't want to cause a big scene cos I've got a really nice day planned & don't want to start with a meltdown.
