Hi, I clicked the link you have provided above to explain why behaviours are different at home and school but it came up as an error page. Is there any other way I can access that information please?
Also I have a concern I am hoping another parent can help me with. My child has Sensory Processing Disorder (dysregulation) and I'm told ASD as well although he hasn't had his detailed assessment yet. He is 13, has been what I would describe as 'odd',quirky all his life and is prone to roaring meltdowns with violence and a default setting to always feeling under attack, and he never is, which makes home life difficult. I have 2 other children both girls one a year older and the other his twin.
Lately we have adopted stragegies that have brought more calm to the house although some may say we're indulging him which is probably true just to get him to a point where he feels safe and can start to think about self regulating, which for him is extremely difficult, life must seem a real strain to him :-( He starts OT at the end of this month I am told.
Lately he won't tidy his room, brush his teeth, wear his retainer, hang up his uniform after school. He gets really upset when I ask him to do these things as if it's for my benefit. He gets up every morning to do his homework at 630, he won't do it the night before but he feels he has to complete it even if he has been sick and there's no negotiating with him. If I challenge him or even offer to help him, which I'm always happy to do, with any of the above he gets really agitated, which can lead to a meltdown if I'm not careful.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated x
