[QUOTE="Christy, post: 175627, member: 225"] Since this is not the first time it's happened, we had worked on a plan with his therapist. We had him describe what it feels like when he is about to run and worked out a plan. We have had drills and practiced this as well. We agreeed that it was okay to run into the backyard. We have a lange fenced in yard with plenty of "hiding" places. We have talked alot about how his room is a safe spot where he can go to be get away and be alone as well. We've discussed how when we are out in the community, it is not safe to be alone so when he feels like this, he should say a code word and freeze. We would all stop what we were doing, he would take a few seconds to breathe, and then try to tell us what he was upset about. We promised to do our best to work out a solution. Good in theory but when he is upset, he is unable hold it together long enough and reacts immediately on his feelings. This time, yes we did know he was upset when husband came to get him but it was an unavoidable situation. [/QUOTE]
