DS6 suffers from ASD, this weekend has been terrible, I am finding it hard to cope, he keeps crying the reason for this is because he wants to see DAD who vanished out of his life 7 months ago. DS is adamant that it is all his fault, dad is currently in a place where no mother would want their child going to visit their father, is it wrong of me for not telling him the truth?
He also hasn't eaten since Friday morning and he hasn't been sleeping well either. He usually takes a nap in the day times i.e he usually falls straight asleep on the way home from school on school days, and he at least one nap during the day on weekends.
The more I try and talk to him the more he cries, and he doesn't want to be held, cuddled or comforted.
He is an emotional child but he never cries as much as he has been doing this weeknd and he isn't co-operating with me either and I don't like to force him to do things.
He attends a special school for children with autism/behaviour problems, I am trying to find a much suitable school for him as he is not making any progress.
Please some tips on how to make him stop crying and most importantly eat.
