My son has a big melt down everytime we visit a doctor or a dentist – especially when doing things like blood draws, injections, or even basic dental checks. With age, he requires more clinic visits, and he’s getting stronger too, so it’s becoming hard to manage. We tried using social stories to prepare him, but once we are there, the actual experience upsets him a lot. Any advice?
