You're on familiar ground here, aren't you only49? You know that he frets before you go away - the change of routine and scene I suppose unsettles him: are you a little sad that he still frets, that he hasn't developed an awareness of time just yet? I suppose it is hard to tell if he ever will, but you know your son, you know how to respond to his concerns - I am sure that you will all be fine. It's not long now is it? Where are you going?

you could google it on google maps
yes DD we feel really strongly that it would be wrong to push him into more than he can cope with, we know what to do, and we will do our utmost to support him as much as he needs, thats what perents do.sylvia0 -
Hi Only49,
You will have done your best to prepare him, you have developed the strategies you need to help him and you will soon be on your way. Keep plugging away at the old time charts and schedules - one day you'll do nothing different and with a bit of luck "the penny will drop." Hope you have a lovely time and that D will have lots of fun which will make the anxious moments worth it.

Hi Sylvia,
I hate going away, even for a night because D frets so much with all the changes and unfamiliarity. We dont intend to go away this year because of this.
Can you do a calendar where he ticks off the days as it is visual. My D is very good with dates, in fact he is obsessed so has a very good understanding. But i know lots of parents make a calendar and also photos of the place you are going to,
BEst wishes

I'm sure you have done everything to reassure him he will be ok.
It must be hard for you but your son will settle down alright and as you say you will be there.
I hope you all have a lovely holiday, he might surprise you and be ok.
Take care
