Getting out the house any advice.
My 2 year old is speech delayed , developmental delayed and nursery are looking at ehcp and autism referral and already told me that they don’t think he will cope in a mainstream school. One of his struggles over the past few months is getting out and about. He is fine once he’s out but it seems to be the build up he doesn’t like. He says no, will cry, run into a different room and close the door and it don’t matter how early we wake up to get ready it’s the same everyday. And he hates the pram as well, but he still won’t walk on his own for a long period of time without asking for me to carry him. He doesn’t understand that he needs to go into the pram because he’s to heavy or that he has to walk. I’m 29 weeks pregnant and it is really hard to carry him even tho I feel really bad. But I don’t think he understands that he needs to either walk or use the pram because he will just cry and get upset and stand there until I pick him up. Once we have spent some time outside also, he will get so upset if we have to leave like we spent 2 hours at the park the other week and he refused to walk back home, use the pram. He cried and screamed and layed on the ground overwhelmed and as if something bad had happened. Like he gets so upset he sounds like he’s crying in pain even tho it’s simply just us needing to go home. He is very clingy to me at the minute the only way he’s communicating really is by taking my hand and taking me to what he wants or needs or I’m
Just guessing what’s wrong. How can I make it easier for him to not feel so overwhelmed

The main reason he gets upset is because of the unknown.
Even if you tell him, he may not understand.
This visual board we use Daily and I use pictures to show her her routine.
E.g.
We get up, brush teeth, get dressed, shoes on, eat breakfast, get in car, go to park, play with friends, get in car, come home.
And the afternoon you do it again and so also for the bath and bed routine.
Board is light so you can take it with and he removes the pictures as the task is complete. So he knows exactly what will happen next.
Secondly, I bought a similar timer.

For everything we do, I give her a time.
She can see how much time is left.
So I'll say, you can watch tv for 2 more minutes. If the light and alarm goes off, we are turning off the tv and going to bath.
Or, you have 10more, then 5more, then 2more minutes in the park. when the timer goes off, we are going to the car to go home.
So he knows exactly what is coming and when.
You'll see a noticeable difference I'm sure!
You can also get hour glasses with 30secs, 1min, 2min,5min etc but the clock works better for my girl..
Always remember... he is more fearful of the unknown than anything else and easily overwhelmed and not very verbal.
With pictures, he can show you and he can understand what you mean.
You give him more power and autonomy by letting him maybe choose via pictures if he wants to go to playgroup or the pool, to the park or to the farm etc.
He feels less overwhelmed if he knows what is coming and when it is coming.
Hope this helps!
thank you so much this is really helpful
Pleasure. Let me know how it goes. I really hope it helps you.
