My DS1 is 2 1/2 and was diagnosed a couple of months ago. Up til now the only obvious signs were a speech delay and a few odd habbits but all of a sudden he won't go anywhere, I know it's because he's anxious and not part of his routine but how do I live any kind of normal life like this??
Today i have attempted for the second time this week to go to the supermarket. He won't walk alongside the trolley so I have to put him in the seat to keep control but as of this week he just goes rigid and after 25 minutes of doing everything I could think of (cuddles, distraction, calming down and trying again etc) I gave up and came home in floods of tears. I know I can do internet shopping but it's not just the supermarket, it's anywhere he takes a dislike to.
Its very early days for us with his diagnosis and I just wanted to know if anyone out there had overcome any of this either by technique or over time?
