Hi Everyone,
New here. I wondered if anyone out there was as frustrated and worried about this.
My son is 27 and has 'out of the blue' rages for no apparent reason, he becomes very violent, upset and loud. This usually lasts for around 5 - 10 minutes , he cannot explain why or what triggered the behaviours. He is Autistic with moderate learning disability. he is echolalic. His Echolalia and physical aggression have esculated severely over the past few years. We have had tests to rule out any epileptic activity and I am now wondering if Bi Polar or Schizophrenia is an issue for him or any other Autistic adults? I have mentioned Bi Polar to my sons LD Phsychiatrist but this has not been taken any further. My son has had various medications to try to help with the aggressive attacks and is on Sodium Valproate and Risperidone which do not appear to have any effect. It is very upsetting to see him during these ongoing 'attacks' and i do not know of anyone in the same situation. Any advise greatly appreciated.
