[QUOTE="SRL, post: 208509, member: 701"] I'm not saying this as criticism but just as food for thought, again thinking on TEC, being flexible and taking preventative steps. Having had a former spectrumy child who is now functioning well without medications, I learned that holidays were so difficult that we learned to treat difficult child as if he were a sick kid whenever the main event wasn't taking place. He needed to be left alone. He needed us to make zero demands on him. He needed us to be flexible and back down sometimes. He needed us to take extra care to tend to sensory and dietary needs. Cleaning rooms, running errands, and going out to eat wouldn't even have been on our radar back then like it could be now when he's achieved stability. Your difficult child may be used to a lot higher activity level on a daily basis than mine, but at our house it would have been a set up for failure. [/QUOTE]
