Violence, beliefs, desperate parent

My son is 19yrs old, ASD, awaiting ADHD assessment and has PDA traits. His is aggressive and violent. Most recently attacking me and needing to be restrained by his father during an initial assessment with the Complex Autism Team. He would have hurt the staff present in the room. This is all because he didn't want to sign the consent form, because he didn't agree with the team sharing any safeguarding issues, should they arise during discussions. Four months we waited for this meeting, now that's another team that won't deal with him. He believes that there is a higher power controlling the government, but when pressed, has no substance to back up or prove these ridiculous theories. He is determined to break rules he believes are wrong, rules that allow us to live in a safe society. I am desperate. We can't go on or he will eventually hurt one of us or worse. I'm sick of him looking at crap on the internet that seems to suck in people with vulnerabilities like his. But I can't stop him accessing it, his PC is his only enjoyment. I don't know what I'm asking, but this is my life with him, one of control and fear, of hiding the bruises he inflicts, and then providing the love and care he needs after one of these episodes. One day I won't be here anymore, be it at his hands or my own or age. I can't see him ever moving on a having a normal life. He seems determined to make things as hard as possible for himself, and we're expected to just suffer it all, as he constantly maintains it's not his fault and there's nothing he can do. Can anyone please offer me any help, advice or hope because I am seriously losing the will to fight or stand up for him anymore. Being Autistic doesn't give anyone the right to behave in the way he does, but he seems to think it does and that he should be allowed to be above the law.

  • My brother was like that, at his age. But, once he went to Tech, he rebuilt his life. He ended up graduating from Uni in 2020.

    Perhaps see if there's an employability programme for those aged 18 to 24. That's what helped my brother. 

  • He doesn't want to do anything. He's been excluded from his Special Needs college. He has no ambition, doesn't want to be a "wage slave" as he puts it, doesn't want to volunteer, or do work experience. We have set a good example, we both work, have decent jobs, earn enough to have a stable life, have a nice home, lovely siblings, holidays etc...But he is just there, ruling it all, not willing to help, or change, or better himself. 

  • thats a long hard path he has to take to improve.... i recommend martial arts and fitness.. he will accept it because it can be used to say its to build him up and make him badass, a chad, a alpha, make him better than the wojack wage slaves.... he will take to it, and the martial arts and fitness and training will change him and make him a diligent hard worker and if he takes to it and is serious then over time he will think and he will change and it will reverberate and change through many aspects of his life. he will realise the training makes manual work very easy and even pleasurable and makes him a good worker, when he gets to that stage of working. which may require alot of advancement in thought and planning... general growing up, he can do it so long as you can motivate him in some way... perhaps try not to mention work though or anything, more so on trying to improve him and make him better than others, try and play to his fantasies and help him advance, unknowingly your turning him into a hard worker and taking control of his development. his mind will fix itself with experience and growth if guided and encouraged. take control of his path by taking control of the narrative he believes, or more latching onto it... wanna be better than wage slave? then train martial arts and be physically above them shattered worn down wagies.. trains martial and he unwittingly becomes a very good worker as martial arts is just hard work rebranded in a way to train children how to be labourers in china! lol

  • he should be better than who he was the day before. the reason he has all these problems is he isnt better, and you dont think he should be better as then you feel hed be better than you then?

    as i said martial arts training is often not really about fighting, most of the times you fight yourself and really work damned hard and put alot of blood sweat and tears into it. this is why when you ask a chinese person what is kung fu... they dont say its fighting or kicking ass, the truth of it... is that its really hard work, the hardest work you will ever feel in your life, harder work than our jobs, so much hard work that it makes any hard manual labour job seem very easy, to the point that you then see even the hardest manual labour as something you can easily do and are motivated to do. such a thing can make him change and go out there and get a job and thus... become the wage slave he thinks others are, and become a better worker than others are at that too as kung fu training is 1 million times harder than any manual labour job. sometimes you need to break and tame a kid, the school system doesnt do that, its too soft.... martial arts teachers can do that, if you find the right one that is willing to beast your kids like some sort of military boot camp...... infact it works the same way as if i just said to you the stereotype "bring back national service" and make him be put through a beasting in military boot camp, that is basically the same effect, and youd have likely agreed to that one as most people do, but it is the same although martial arts would have more respect and less bad blood and less shouty antagonism and more approachability which i think makes the whole process better for the person.

    although kids these days are lazy and only want to play games... if your kids like that then i dunno, how can he see himself superior to "wage slaves" when hes likely weaker and less fit than them? ....surely if he feels superior hed like to pursue that and make that a reality right? ...and if he does, hed end up becoming a worker anyway because then its easy lol in the end fitness and self development helps, sitting around in his room with delusions that dont match the reality of his own weakness will just be a hole he cannot climb out of.

    i dunno what else, perhaps you can point out to him... that the "wage slaves" have money and can buy things... and thus with their money they become "chads" and they get the girls? ... he might understand putting it like that.... and if he never gets a job and never changes, he just becomes the weak poor depressed person that never gets a girl and will end up homeless and looked down upon by the wage slaves right? ...ask him, will he feel superior then? and isnt it more alpha and chad like to be the one with the job and the money who can get the girl and the life and the property? or would he like to be the poor smelly homeless that is looked down on?

    also likely he probably is perhaps pretty right wing then.... but yet you can point out that his joblessness and lack of ability to make it makes him more like a hyper left wing liberal as they are often all on welfare lol theres quite alot of room to snap him into shape there and point out things while sticking to his own view of the world which is likely been shaped by the internet given hes used the "wage slave" meme term lol

  • I really don't want to make him better at violence. He is already stronger than both my husband and I. I also don't see working people wage slaves. We should all have to work to support ourselves and it's insulting that you think he should be better than those of us who do an honest days work. Martial Arts isn't the answer to everything.
