Mum on the edge

Lilvix

Hey everyone,

i not long had my 3year old dignosed with autism and believe me, I have so many questions I don't know where to start. He is the most loving pleasant little boy I know ( slightly biased) but recently his behaviour I has deteriorated so bad. He seems so angry all the time and the naughty step just doesn't work. I just want to know where to start to calm him down, make him understand he can't be this way. i hope I am not the only one, feeling this way, upsets me so much when people in own family, just think he naughty and not disiplined properly. Sorry for the rant.

  • Hi Livlix + Alfie - do you know why your child's behaviour's deteriorated?  That's the key to improving things.  Yes, some others are very judgemental.  Something we can absolutely do without.  Most people don't understand.  Worse when they are family members or friends.  Very hurtful.  The important thing, though, is to work out why something's happening.  Changes in routine?  Sensory overload?  Trying to reason with your child as if they didn't have autism (doomed to failure + making things worse).  We need to be able to understand our own child + how autism affects him or her.  With that understanding comes an empathy.  Then we don't get angry or upset.  Just sympathetic + wanting to help
