[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] Maybe two things were too much and caused an overload. [/quote] This! It was way too much. I have a ADHD and ASD kid and I think you underestimate how much outings take out of them. They are physically drained by concentrating and the overstimulation. My kid is a teen so they will verbalize “I’m done.” She would love to keep shopping (a fun activity for her), but she just hits a wall. Your child really wanted to watch a movie, eat popcorn, etc. but was just done. He wasn’t old enough to articulate it or didn’t want to disappoint you. [/quote]
