Hi all,
I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I am a single parent to a 9-year-old (nearly 10) autistic son and his 5-year-old sister. Today he was very dysregulated. He has a calm down area with toys/blankets e.t.c. but wouldn't go there and I could tell his sister was going to get hurt. I tried to get her out of the room but couldn't in time so put myself in between wne he bit me hard and it bruised instantly. As he is getting bigger, I am genuinely worried he is going to hurt one of us during his meltdowns. I've been to the doctor's, school and I'm on the waiting list for private therapy, but not got a place yet and no-one seems willing to help. The other day he said he wanted to stab me. Any advice at all?
