| Hi my son was the same way when he was younger. The reason he is yelling when he transitioning from place to place is because he doesn't know what is happening next. If you show him pictures to let him know what is going on that will help him a lot. My son also is nonverbal. ↑ |
| Hi my son is 2 1/2 and we had the exact same problem. Our sons psychologist told us the reason for doing this is because being in the car is more stimulating for him than going inside.What is he going inside to do? Is it stimulating enough for him to want to go inside? An example would be when our son was starting to refuse we would ask him if he wanted to come and have shower (which for him he loves) You have to find that thing that is more stimulating than the car. ↑ |
Hello,
Foreshadowing events regardless of how small they are is agood way to see if indeed his screaming is from the transitioning. Using pictures is also very useful, specially if there is something you know is special to him that he can look forward to (or ease his mind from the unfamiliar/unknown) when you are about to make a transition of place/activity etc. i.e try talking about/show pictures of something he likes that he will find when he gets inside the house before you even begin the transition, talk about it on the way home and if he is fine with the transition PRAISE him for the good behavior.
I hope this is helpful. Every child is unique and different things help in different ways. I wish you well. ↑ |
Hello again, I found this and thought it might help...perhaps a sound or scent is affecting hime and he screams as you described during transitions...?

Problems That May Accompany ASD: Sensory problems. When children's perceptions are accurate, they can learn from what they see, feel, or hear. On the other hand, if sensory information is faulty, the child's experiences of the world can be confusing. Many ASD children are highly attuned or even painfully sensitive to certain sounds, textures, tastes, and smells. Some children find the feel of clothes touching their skin almost unbearable. Some sounds—a vacuum cleaner, a ringing telephone, a sudden storm, even the sound of waves lapping the shoreline—will cause these children to cover their ears and scream. ↑ |
