We tried that three weeks ago, and the result was a screaming meltdown. He eventually came with us, and had a good time, but task initiation is a real problem. He feels as if he doesn't have control of his time and reacts very strongly to any perceived "work".

I can understand this feeling, I'm not sure if my issues are just anxiety or anxiety comorbid with ASD, but when things don't happen in a predictable or expected way, especially when it comes to time, I get very anxious and upset.
