[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were also at a museum. We’d seen a special exhibit and we’re going to see the movie. He’d done so well all morning. [/quote] I’m sure you know this in retrospect but that was probably too much for the day. And try to reframe it: you had a successful outing in the morning![/quote] This. You over-spent the budget. He did well in the morning but he used up his social stamina to accomplish that. Next time don't plan such a long outing, especially around the holidays. I get that you want him to be out and about and have experiences, but it's not beneficial if it leads to major meltdowns. You need to carefully plan his "dosage" of out-of-the-house activities so that it's within his capacity. That way he can benefit from the activity but not get overloaded.[/quote]
