My 5 year old DS is Autistic and about 80% non verbal and his behaviour is really starting to get out of hand. It's not an issue of not understand my requests because he does everything DH asks him to do. DH has always been strict with him which is why he listens to him.
I've tried being strict, e.g following through on threats, taking away toys, constantly returning him to the naughty step but it has no effect on him.
He's not afraid of me like he is of DH and I'm now at the end of my rope, I can't even take him out on my own because he'll try and run into the road, he won't listen to a word I say, so I have to physically carry him, but all DH has to do is give him a look and he'll calmly walk along side us.
I want to get a grip on his behaviour whilst he's still young but I'm all out of ideas, does anyone know of anything I can try with him?
