It's not a mistake Maisey, it's just something that happened.
Right.
And: the more he learns that you can be worried about something bad and yet it does NOT happen, the more he can calibrate the worry appropriately.
Not sheltering a child with ASD is lots more work in the short term (meltdowns!) but in the long run it's better to not shelter them too much. They need more practice managing in the world, not less-- giving them practice helps them get where they need to be.
So: good job! Not a mistake! Keep going! Truly.
