Hi @ihatediabetes
I’m very sorry to hear your frustration, and please know that you aren’t alone in not knowing where to turn. My son has special needs as well and though he is at home with me, and he loves to be home, it’s not easy for him to be out of routine. I’ve been relying heavily on the following article to get us through this uncertain time. I know that it is written specifically with ASD in mind, but I think it speaks beyond the diagnosis. https://afirm.fpg.unc.edu/supporting-individuals-autism-through-uncertain-times
I have seen a few really good social stories that attempt to explain the Covid pandemic. Does he respond well to them?
