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
I am new to the site as I too am at the end of my tether. My son who is 5 was diagnosed recently with Aspergers after 18 months of various observations by the medical team. My son is very aggressive particularly with me and his little sister. If she doesn't play a game the way he wants she gets a punch, bite or nip. Sometimes he can be ok and suddenly turn into 'my second son' that is what I call him because it isn't my normal son. He can be very verbal and I have been on the receiving end of bites, punches, nips and kicks and that can start at any time.
After school I can normally tell now what mood he will be in and on occasions he will tell me not to talk to him because he is stressed and tired.
The school holidays are a nightmare because there is no structure or routine to his day and Christmas has been awful because of this, I was glad he went back to school today and that sounds awful but it was becoming a nightmare with him.
My son doesn't like change, doesn't understand most things I say so I have to say it over and over or if possible show him a picture which he understands more, it is very hard.
I worry about him hurting someone or himself when he is aggressive as he doesn't seem to know what he is doing, his outburst can last up to 2 hours and he trashes his room and any other he can get too. He doesn't like mess so his recent episode I left the room a mess as told by the medical team and he did clear it all up the next day.
I am glad I have joined this site as just reading people's comments about their experiences makes me understand a little more about the condition and that I am not alone.
