Puberty

Mhairi

Hi

My 10 year old with HFA and ADHD has been going through a difficult and very, very draining spell of behaviour which it a couple of folk have said may be the beginnings of the puberty hormone changes!  I brushed this off and just put it down to the very difficult time at school early in the year, general lack of support and inclusive attitude and sensory overload resulting in very challenging behaviour early in the year to a consistent stream of very oppositional behaviour.

I have heard it suggested that people with Aspergers are more likely to go through some element of puberty early?  Does anyone know if this is true?

Any thoughts welcome

  • Your very welcome hun, 

    I know how it can be a drain on the family, and that can be a strain on you as a parent. I often myself locking myself in the loo for a few minutes to calm down (its the only room with a lock haha)

    I find distraction works with Jake when he looses his temper, asking him about an interest he has at the time calms him immensly and it soon passes. Failing thats its isolation, in his bedroom for him to calm down. 

    I only have Jake to contend with, he has no sibling. I couldnt imagine coping with Jake and others! But do you have a 'Safe' place for your son? Somewhere thats his and only his. I find that with Jake he likes to be alone and adult intervention can make him errupt even more. 

    I sincerly hope you get the answers you need hun, Good Luck
