DS1 (ASD) is quite flexible considering the dx. He does get a bit upset if we can't do a favourite activity but saying 'Later' or 'No not now' seem to work for him and he calms down. I have been given a visual timetable by the NHS SALT and I was really pleased to see how quickly he recognised the symbols as they are more abstract than his photo book. What is the best way to actually use the timetable for this type of child? I want him to be able to use a timetable but I don't know where to start. Our days vary quite a lot and we have no fixed schedule as such. Should I ask him to pick a symbol instead of asking him where he would like to go?
