Hi Everyone!
This is the first time that I have used this site.
I need help and I am hoping that someone can give me some advice.
I have been round in circles trying to get my son help with his anger.
He is now threatening to take his own life, screams, shouts and bangs things. He has similar problems at school. I have tried new approaches and stratergies and nothing seems to work. I Am
at the end of my tether. I feel that I am loosing my son and I am worried that he will hurt himself or someone else. Can anyone give me some advice please.
Kind Regards
Debbie
Welcome to the community. I hope you will find it helpful.
I'm very sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing right now. Without much detail it's difficult to know how to help, but it's clear your son is very distressed and I can only imagine how worried you must be. Here is a link to some website information about understanding behaviour:
You might find the section there on "challenging behaviour" of particular use and there is advice about getting support at the end of that section too.
Here is a link to more information about services provided by the NAS:
Take a look at that and see if you think you might like to give them a try - whether that's getting more information from the Autism Helpline or talking things through with someone at the Parent to Parent Service. I'm sure they will do their best to advise you or point you in the right direction of finding the help you need locally.
Please let us know how you are getting on. Good luck.
