[quote=Anonymous]You had a tough day! It’s ok. You will bounce back.

From my experience (my DC is a young adult with ASD), your DC is doing good with meltdowns out of the home 3x year. That’s good! I don’t think you have to shut down all activity. But maybe only places you know for a while, or very short outings (ie museum but not add’l movie). 1-2 hr max. You know the places that DC feels most comfortable.

I think you & DH are arguing about semantics. Don’t worry about who is going to be point person, etc. is DC your only? Then next time you plan an outing with the three of you. If there is a meltdown, DH will be in charge of handing it physically - he may not want to when talking about it now, none of us do, but if it happens you deal.

There isn’t any medication for ASD. Let the idea that there is a magic med out there you are prevented from accessing that will fix all your issues - there isn’t one. Some may make things slightly better for some, but even then it is years of trying different meds. So you are not really missing out on anything.

You had a tough day, let yourself recover & you will feel better. [/quote]
