I wondered if anyone has advice because I'm at my wits end, my ds who is nearly 5, has ASD and attends mainstream school. Today yet again, he pushed over a boy in his class after school. Obviously the parents were horrified to see this as the other boy was just happily walking along before this happened, with no provocation. Nothing I can say or do stops my son from behaving like this. I'm becoming paranoid because I feel that other parents are looking down on me because I am unable to control my little boy. They don't know that he has ASD, and only last week he was invited to a party for the first time, but there was just no way I could let him go, so I explained to the parent that he has behavioural problems and wouldn't be able to cope at a party. But i feel that I'm just making the situation harder for myself, but the thought of explaining that he has autism to parents whom I don't generally speak to would be really hard for me. Any ideas on what I can do, for myself and my child? I know there is no magic wand but I often read your SN chats so I know others are in similar situations.
