Newbie in need of advice

Carierine

Hi all

My son who is 15 was diagnosed with Asd back in August last year. He is a sensitive boy but is becoming very frustrated and angry of late and lately we (mum and step dad) feel like the enemy. Any tips on how to avoid fireworks when dealing with young male adults would be greatly appreciated

  • Hi I just wanted to thank you for your kind words of advice. You have helped us see that we are not alone and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will read the book you recommended and are going to invest in a punch bag. We do realise that our reactions can also make the situation worse but sometimes the frustration is overwhelming and a deep breath is needed. Picking battles is a challenge but needs to be done. Thank you so much x
