Hello

Bo

Hello I am very new to this. My son Oliver was diagnosed with asd a month ago and it has been a bit of a roller coaster. He is only three but already has many challenging behaviours. One that I am particularly concerned about and needing some advice is throwing. He throws anything he can over the fence, out the window, down the stairs and across the room. We have gone through many plates, and bowels and he has broken a lot of our ornaments as well as my two other children's things. We have put up signs to show that there is no throwing and we have also tried using a place that he needs to go when he does throw eg in his room or on the step. We do not call it the naughty step because he does not know what it means. He has no idea of facial expressions or the different tone of voice we use and we are running out of ideas. Oliver has good communication and can tell us to a degree what he wants but he does not understand a lot that we say to him. Pleaase any advice would be great.

thanks

  • Thank you for your comments. Oliver has always thrown things and it started with his food if his spoon touched his bowl. This was before he was diagnosed. it only lasted for a very little time. He seems to go in cycles with his behaviours at the moment it is throwing and biting. He loves seeing things in the air and once he has whatever he wants to throw in his head it must be thrown. I am going to try and get him to throw lots of soft balls into a box and for now all bedrooms are being locked. I do remember when he was a toddler he picked up the washing bin at the top of the stairs and threw it he has always been very strong! He has started going to preschool and I wonder if this has anything to do with it. He woke up in the night last week refusing to go back to sleep and kept saying he does not like preschool. I have been told about an early bird course to go on however my husband is a lorry driver and his hrs are never the same, we have two ther children and we just don't have a wat of doing it as it is once a week for 12 weeks and it helps with behaviours such as throwing. We are struggling to get other help as he is so young.
