Well I’m screwed here

Son is 9 ASD and actually settles really well into summer holidays after the first week of adjustment. Unfortunately I’m a single working parent so childcare over summer is difficult. My parent help and I’ve got a couple of school friends who we rotate all having the kids so the others have some time. Today is one of three days that I couldn’t get covered so I booked my kids onto a holiday club. There’s multiple options where we live, so I picked one where he already does an activity and knows. He’s been there before during Easter and loved it. He did one day last week and loved it. Today, he’s refusing to go. Lying in bed in his PJs screaming if I even enter his room. Won’t eat, won’t dress. We have to leave in 20 minutes so I can drop them and he won’t budge. He’s too big to psychically drag, he hasn’t eaten so will be in the worst mood ever even if I get him there. I have to work. What the hell am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry Op you had to deal with that this morning, I've had similar days it's absolutely rubbish isn't it.
I promise you will feel better tonight after logging off and a strong cuppa. Brew
