Hi
My nine year old son, Harry often displays very typical repetitiive behaviours such as repeating phrases and using objects and toys to make sounds. He can use some speech but this is very limited. He changes these behaviours about once a month. He has recently developed an obssession with going to the loo for a wee and he can do this up to 20 times in one hour. He obviously doesn't need one - I think he likes the routine of going to the bathroom. He can get very cross and has also tried to hurt himself by pulling his willy and/or twisting it.
Harry is a gorgeous boy but when we try to be firm about his behaviour he becomes very violent and will bite/throw/punch/kick us.
I am hoping that this will be temporary but it is a worry - especially as we are going on holiday soon. Has anyone else had any experience of this type of behaviour?
