Any Suggestions On Working With Non Custodial Parents And Being Consistent With Child's Needs.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My ex and his parents do not allow my son the ability to remove himself from the dinner table when he is feeling really overwhelmed. He will usually go to the restroom to have a break and calm down when we are at restaurants. I’ve sent text messages with no response from my ex or his mother. What else can I do to get them to understand my child’s need?

Face to face conversations are usually more fruitful.

I had my daughter talk to her father so he could inform the rest. Tay gets quiet and tries to remove herself from the situation when she is overwhelmed. It has taken a full year of them talking for understanding by Dad and the uncles.

We live in a different state, he spends summers with Biological Father. This year has been the hardest—no matter what I try, they just will not listen. I have encouraged my sons to self advocate, but this is a hard thing for him.
