Several have mentioned that they use a stroller for autistic children even those that are a little older. The stroller can act as a wheelchair, but also gives the autistic child a confined space that limits contact with crowds.
I know many support this. Do you really think my 7 y.o. is appropriate for a stroller? He is a high energy mobile child, but gets worn out (I guess, maybe he is over stimulated) after a couple hours of walking and asks to be carried. He weighs around 60 pounds. DH has to carry him. I can hold him for a minute or two but can't really carry him.
Would I get a double stroller? Just reading the thread about prices it sounds like the singles must be small (up to 9 mos.). I am surprised that stroller rental is so expensive.
Experiences, advice please.
