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
hi debbie this is my first day on this site,my son is 10 and was diagnosed with autism a month ago although i always knew he had something wrong.
the anger is a huge issue for us too,my son swears grits his teath throws things and sometimes hits me.
im a single mum which in some ways i find easier as far as routine is concerned but in others i get so tired as he doesnt sleep well either.
the dr's put my son on melatonin 2mg once in the evening i do feel this has lessend his temper a bit but most of his anger stems from frustration.he really struggles with friends and children find him hard work.
its horrible because u can not see the disabilty that they have and sometimes u feel to put a sign on their head saying i have autism,i think or as far as i see everone copes differently and its about finding a way ur son feels happy to express himself,my son loves to draw but i also made the back room into a gym with a punch bag wich i hopeing to make part of his daily routine,maybe you could try exercising with your son as it may help your relationship and let off a bit of steam for you both.best of luck anyway xxx
