Take one thing of his to the new house everyday . Take him along, and bring a ball or something to play with. This will get him use to the new house some, and then I suggest you go buy a swing. Autistic children like swings a lot. Play with him and the ball in the house so he's not scared of it.
Buy a plastic- not inflatable- baby pool-a big and deep one. . put sand in the bottom about 3" deep. Glo to a craft store and buy a bunch of shells. Throw those in there too. Then get an aireator so the water isn't stagnant. Dig a hole in the back yard as deep and as wide as the pool. Put the pool in the hole, .and fill it with water. Put the aireator in it and then Fill it with h2o. Put sand all around the sides, like a beach, with sea shells buried in the sand for him to play in. Show it to him and show him the swing. Then take him up to his room once you've assembled the whole thing. (Let him play on the swing and"beach" while yo0ur husband does this) and he'll fall in the swing of things in a month or so. It may be a little upsetting, but just be there for him and it's going to be alright.

We just went through this.
Contact your child's doctor. Each child is different.
I made it like an activity and walked him through the change step by step. He doesn't like change either. We made it into a game. I put the focus on each thing in his bedroom. After we had announced each thing, we moved it into the truck and took it to the new house. When we got there, we announced it again and put it in his new room. We didn't move really far away, so I could do each room like that. I made him an active part of what was going on. I gently reminded him each time that it was our stuff, and still our stuff. Being in a new place wasn't scary or too hard for him once he realized that we still had all the same stuff that he liked. He has adjusted very well.
Every child is different. Find a way to cater to yours.
I hope all goes well.

I worked with an autistic adult and what her parents did was created laminated picture cards held together by a single 3 in" ring for her of the new and old house along with other pics. Take a few of good memories from the old place so he doesn't feel like it's totally lost and then take a few of the new place along with maybe some general pics of things he likes to do. Talk to him while "flipping" through the pics about the new things he's going to be doing at the new place and about memories from the old. These flip cards on the single ring are great for "sitting" still moments when he can be constantly busy "flipping" through them, but sitting in one place. I wish you the best and congratulations on your new place.
God Bless

my 6 year old is on the autistic spectrum as well. we move house last December and the idea that i had was to ask the people who are living there now if you can call over and take some photo of the house. i explain to the people that i have an autistic child and needed to show him pictures of the house before moving in. it work for me and my son. they do respond well to pictures. we are also going to the same place for our holiday, good luck with the move and i hope your son will cope OK with it.

I am a teacher who specializes in autism and related disorders. I have found the use of social stories to be particularly helpful in aiding my students to adjust to changes. Every child is different, but you can adjust the strategy based on the child's interests and attention. Try taking photos of current and new home, his favorite toys/etc., and the moving process. He can help make the story or you can develop a simple one to go with the pictures. Use it often prior to the move to help prepare him. Good luck.

Make it seem like an adventure, tell him that you are moving for a better life and that he will love the new house and tell him he can decorate his room how he wants and involve him in buying new things.. im sure he will be fine babe

If he doesn't like small change, stop being pikey and give him notes! Don't tell him about the house, it'll be a nice surprise. And fill it with sand, then he'll like it!

They can be so cleverly observant. My only suggestion to you is that you let him 'help' you and watch you do it. I'm not sure if you do mean change your house or move to another one.

there is no easy way to tell a child with autism that he will be experiencing change
ask your doctor on how to make it easier for him
