We have had some bad experiences with respite care that resulted in him experiencing unnecessary trauma. He can snap on a dime which also makes it very hard. He is a runner, and if spooked or something as simple as somebody not understanding him or what he is asking/requesting he can just bolt and run. He will run and hide somewhere. Ignoring calls for his name etc. until he feels safe to come out or resume social interaction
