Hey my name is michelle and iam 36 years old and my son who is autistic is always spending the night at my mom's house and he never wants to come home and i miss him what should I do?
karenR answered Thursday July 27 2006, 1:48 pm: You simply make him come home with you. You are the mom and he is the child. It makes no difference that he is autistic he still needs to
come home every night the same as any other child. Don't treat him any differently. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

If you don't want to do that, try taking him somewhere fun, like miniature golfing (idk how old he is, sorry), or the movies, the park, etc. Make the enviornment fun for him, and he'll want to stay. Or you could invite your mom to come along, or come to your house, maybe he would like that. [ shannonbond's advice column | Ask shannonbond A Question ]

But sometimes you just need to draw the line. Make him come home and maybe he will like it more then at your mom's house. Don't bribe him because that isn't very fair. Or, you can ask your mom to come spend the night one night, that may help also. Just remember that you are in charged and bringing him home will be the best for him.
