High sprung possibly autistic child

Instead of telling him what not to do. Try to redirect and give him something he can do. My son is diagnosed with autism and this is the strategy that’s always worked for him. If it’s food he can’t have I use short phrases “all done gummies, eat this fruit instead” for unsafe play “not safe, play like this instead, play over here instead, play with this instead” make sure your also not yelling across the room to get his attention. Instead get close and on his level. Hope that helps a bit

I appreciate it. It’s just like trying to keep him by me when I take my oldest to the bus. He has no self awareness of danger with cars which scares me the most

Oh yeah definitely. My son is a runner too. I would suggest (if possible) get him in a little stroller wagon where you can clip him in and put some of his favorite toys or even a tablet (we have a tablet just for when we have to be out and there’s a lot of waiting involved). If really bad or you can’t get a wagon I would even suggest a leash backpack I know those get a lot of hate but in my opinion I’d rather get stared at then have my child run off into the road. Also just practicing safe outings helps. I know that we as moms sometimes avoid going out with our kids because it’s a handful but they need these outings to learn the proper way to do things too. Wishing you the best
