3 year old boy

A little bit about us

My son is 3 years old and has autism; one of the main things he struggle with is concentration; he is easily distracted. He has a hard time focusing on one thing for a long period of time ; his attention span is very short. In general, he is a very curious boy and happy most times. He finds comfort in biting his blanket when he go to bed or take a nap: is sensory seeking.

I need assistance with one watching him while I’m working between 9am7pm. My son is a very active , big and strong boy. He likes to go to the park and luke to explore nature; he is receptive to some information but not all ; it can be very difficult for him to follow instructions at times unless it’s being visually demonstrated for him. He sings and knows his colors shapes animals nrs and abc. He understand most basic things, but repetition is definitely needed where at time he dont pay attention or does not care for what you are saying to him.
Z is potty trained but struggles with nr 2. I normally take him to the bathroom every 2-3 hrs to avoid accidents ; he will know what to do when telling him it’s time to go potty or pie. I use the word pupu for nr 2 because he seem to associate that word with that and understand it better..
He sleeps very well at night and takes good 2-3 hr naps as well during the day between 1pm-4pm. He is very particular with food and textures of food. He love snacks - crackers -, gold fish, cheetos, cheese slices. He also loves Danimal smoothies and love to drink water, juice, and milk. Mainly vanilla soy milk but he can drink regular whole milk as well. He does prefer his milk warm usually 1min warm up in micro. He like to eat foods such as noodles those are actually his favorites . But he also like mash potato w gravy ; any tender meats; has to be very soft ; spaghetti and meat sauce , macncheese, French fries. At times I try feeding him rice but have not had any luck with that. As far as fruits : Banana, seem to be the only fruit he likes the most.
