DS had a really good first week at school. Still outside of class and being introduced to the classroom for one lesson a day if he looks like he would cope.
Had a bit of a hiccup yesterday (outside of class), got flustered/confused and felt the work was too hard and lost his composure (polite way of putting it).

This seems to have knocked his confidence - either that or the novelty of going back to school has worn off and the inevitability of doing what everyone else wants all day is proving too much - he is now refusing to do anything he is asked to do, and anything he thinks he will be asked to do.

I dont know how to make this easier for him.

The pardox of needing structure to feel comfortable, but resisting it once its familiar is really hard to navigate and I just dont know what to do next.

Feeling like PDA is a better description of DS than AS.....

Well....ds anxiety and challenging behaviour are getting worse by the day.
motivations work for a short time, but stopping the fu stuff to do the next activity is a problem....just have to keep changing the motivator I guess.
managed his resistance well this morning and he skipped I to school.....but had a terrible day of refusals , anger and throwing stuff about....no specific trigger, just heightened emotional state.

I can see at this rate ds will be proposed to go to a specialist setting by LA and school.

just want him to be happy and comfortable so he can enjoy being at school/learning.
