DS has to have some baby teeth out and due to tolerance issues / lack of understanding this is going to have to be done under GA. He is 8 and moderate / severe ASD with phrase speech. I've requested a meeting in advance (with and without DS) to take photos etc. I am expecting the cannula to be an issue. Not sure yet how they will put him to sleep. Or how I will keep him from wanting to bolt off the ward when he comes round. Any advice or tips welcome. So far the ward has said they have a play therapist who can help prepare him but tbh I am doubtful that will be helpful as DS doesn't really do play. He's better with a list of rules and a schedule broken down step by step. Any tips and advice welcome. I can almost guarantee the things DS will freak out about will be things I haven't thought of.
