Hi, just wondering if anyone got practical advise for me. My 13 year old son has been diagnosed with ASD last week, though I'm very relieved that there is finally an explanation to his behaviour, we still have to deal with very foul langiage, screaming, throwing stuff, shoving etc. Quite disturbing for an adult, but even more so for my 9 year old son (he doesn't have ASD). I'm trying to think of a new way of dealing with his outburts (over very trivial things), but it just seems that I'm letting him get away with this outrages behaviour. He is refusing to talk about ASD, so no starting point. Any ideas,anybody? Has anybody got practical advise how to curb the outbursts without confrontations, but still imppose the boundaries?
Hi Rusky, I can not offer any advice as I am new to this too, I just wanted to say you are not on your own, I to have a 13 yr old boy who has just been diagnosed with autism and he also has very angry and violent outbursts. I agree it is scary both for as us his parents and his 3 younger brothers. Hope you get the answers you seek soon and if any advice comes my way I will surely pass these on. xx
