Hi
My DS is 3.5 and recently diagnosed with ASD. We seem to be finding strategies for managing many of his issues e.g. social anxiety, and trying to encourage speech. The one thing I am struggling massively with at the moment is his tendency to bolt. So for example he will run out of a shop while I am paying and I have to run fast to catch him before he gets into danger. And the school run can be difficult as he seems to get overexcited in the playground and run out of the gate/ along the road. My question is - has anyone else had trouble with bolting and found a good strategy to help? I have thought about a wrist strap of some kind but feel he would be resistant but would be keen to hear of anyone else who has worked through this issue! xx
