[quote=Anonymous]Op here.  I wish I had clear answers to these questions.  Whenever we have any type of appointment, DS is anxious about getting there early and any family member standing in his way will get the nasty talk, which we don't tolerate, but it still happens.  DS is just very rigid about schedules in general, so this applies to going to places and also leaving them.  He is fixated on schedules and expects everyone to keep to them, which is obviously not how the world works.  Nevertheless, if the plane is supposed to depart at 1 PM, he gets agitated if it doesn't.  Putting the plane issue aside, if he was just at an after school activity and expected to be picked up at a certain time, he starts texting us in a pissed off way if we are a minute late, or likewise texts us to come early if the activity finishes even a few minutes early.  Therapist advised us to purposely pick him up a few minutes late sometimes to help him understand that things go off schedule, but it's so hard because we take his wrath as a result.  We do it because we know it's important for him to develop patience and skill in this area, but it really sucks.[/quote]
