Hi there,My Son who is 10 in 6days got diagnosed with ASD in December 18.
He is really struggling at school at the moment with managing his emotions, He has frequent outbursts of anger.
The school are helping in many different ways they can,coming up with different strategies to help him self regulate but things that have worked in the past are not working now.
I'm looking for any help or advice in maybe things people have tried in past? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you x
