I think for all those on the spectrum it is a difficult time, so much more difficult than it is for those of us not on the spectrum. I'm expecting a similar panic rant from youngest today, I've already had to deal with middle son and my sister is dealing with my niece.
I really don't know what I can say or do for youngest, we (well eldest and his partner) had plans to pick him up next week. It would have been sooner but he has an essential appointment for his asthma and had to stay up there to go to it, he is struggling, unable to leave his room to get provisions and unable to get any kind of food delivery slot...he is in meltdown. Part of his speshulness is that he is unable to ask for help, be that from his flatmates (who he actually has to stay away from) or from his university or from any of these groups set up for vulnerable people and right now, he is so scared of being in the presence of others (he was a major germophobe before this, you can imagine what he is like now), he just cannot think. His specialist one to one support has stopped due to social distancing rules.
I've no idea how the new rules announced last night impact on our plans to do our rescue mission, I'm assuming it means we can't but without it, he will just not cope and serious harm could come to him.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I believe that you can go out to care for people, and this might well come under the banner of ‘care’.
Could you ask him to be all packed up and ready to just leave when you arrive., so that you don’t have to spend longer than absolutely necessary in another environment?
What do others think? Could this be considered ‘care’?(I just lurve spiders!)

I think that is care, and you know what, if it was my son I'd risk it anyway.Spend less now, work less later.11

Exactly that.Jazee said:I think that is care, and you know what, if it was my son I'd risk it anyway.We have to be allowed to employ common sense. People will have been far flung yesterday evening. Today is the day for bringing the family home."We're" out closing sites today. For the purposes of safety. I am not because I don't need to be there but I will get food for us and for a couple of people in self-isolation.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

If you get fined, we will have a whip round to pay it, Sue.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?9 -
We are going out for a walk now. We will just keep clear of others, as we have been doing anyway. That seems to be allowed under the new lockdown rules.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?6

We were hoping it would be but not completely sure if it would be classed as such...and I was scared to ask anywhere else because you just tend to get the vitriolic replies.Pyxis said:I believe that you can go out to care for people, and this might well come under the banner of ‘care’.

He wasn't planning a complete clear out of his room, just bringing a few essentials back with him so that he can still do his dissertation stuff from home and be safe (and have food!) as he has another appointment (again one that will not be cancelled), in mid June.We made it!
