Hi, I have a three year old DS with suspected ASD (waiting for diagnosis) and I am really struggling at the moment taking him on the school run with his 2 older sisters. I wondered if anyone else had had similar experiences and found anything that helped. We only live a couple of minutes walk from the school gate but he has become very resistent to walking in that direction and in the last few days I have had to pick him up kicking and screaming just to get his sisters to school. I am worried he may run onto the road as he is difficult to control. He is clearly stressed out but I am not sure what exactly is triggering this, or what to do about it. He has generally calmed down shortly after we get through the school gates. I also feel bad that I am being short tempered with his sisters which is not fair but on top of the other daily challenges his behaviour brings it's starting to overwhelm me. Just generally feeling unsupported by the local authority I think and like I am struggling alone especially as my husband has to be at work and can't help out with this.
