Being a parent is always jumping through hoops. Sounds like he’s got you in his corner to help him navigate a bumpy road! That’s what’s really important.

Our 8 year old is mild Aspy. We have to have a super rigid schedule for him at home as well. He sort of helped form it as he always does things in specific orders because of OCD. Get up, eat, watch his favorite show, brush teeth, etc… if he strayed from his routine it was chaos. During the school year is actually easier for us as we have to stick to a time schedule and summer can get a bit hairy now and then. You’re doing a great job! The longer they feel comfort in knowing what to expect and can find comfort in consistency, the easier the off schedule days will become! You got this!

I have a super-smart 4-year-old, and already I have learned to try and adapt. He has SPD and we have purchased a tent, a weighted blanket, and countless hours of therapy. I never thought I’d be able to adapt, but it amazing how easy it is when you’re trying to do what’s best for your kids.

Routine can be a GREAT thing with kids, especially with kids that NEED it! My son does WAY better with life on a routine, for the most part our day is planned the day before and mornings and nighttime are always the same. Summer is the hardest for us with school being out, we’re starting to adjust to a new routine now!

I know how you feel about the tight schedules. I’m lucky that my daughter, like yours, is very go with the flow. But I’m glad you’re all making it work. At the end of the day that’s really the best we can do.
