Newbie to the group and needing advice

NickiBen

Hi all I'm Nicki and im a single mum to my little boy Ben who is 3 who has been diagnosed with autism and a sensory processing impairment in Feb 2013.

I feel very overwhelmed with it all at the moment and have been reading up on it as much as i can. I just wanted to know how parents dealt with disciplining their children. Ben cant communicate very well i.e you cant have a conversation with him so he doesnt necesssarily always understand. He has started lashing out at me and I dont want it to get out of hand ( if i can help it)

Any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou guys x

  • Thankyou for your reply. He doesnt get enough sleep no. He is up in the night quite a bit. I have this week had people visit me at home who specialise in autism and I am also going to take a parent class to try to understand more. I think hes getting so frustrated because he cant communicate and get across what hes trying to and thats why the lashing out has started. I guess its just trial and error at the moment, Im sure we will get there in the end. I think my biggest problem is the understanding
