Walking To School Alone At??
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My ds sees his friends walk to school and from school alone... he is very upset and literally sad that he can not do this. We started letting him walk the dog this summer up and down the street.

Maybe there is a friend who will walk with him. We started letting our 14 yr.old Aspie ride his bike into town and go to the library. It has been very scary but we haven't had an incident yet and it has been about a year. Aspie's are usually such rule followers and we have even followed him a couple times when he didn't know and he does exactly what he is supposed to do. We do a strip search on him though to make sure he doesn't take money with him or he will stop at Kmart and buy cards.
