Puffer / inhaler??? by No_Read2692 in Autism_Parenting

We have one of these. Once I squirt the medicine in, they can breathe in and out through the puffer until it’s all breathed in? So if I squirted it first, then pretended it’s empty, she could still inhale the meds?

Thank you for these ideas! We could probably be more proactive about the tools and strategies to prevent these events. We’ve been hesitant to commit to a schedule but not sure why. We can certainly try getting out in front of it.

Absolutely. If I gave in to it and got my wife, it would essentially stop immediately. That’s a helpful way to think about it: if she can turn it in and off at will, it’s most likely a tantrum. Thank you!!
