20 yr old son

Tallman76

Hi all, I've recently discovered this forum and have found it to be very insightful. My wife and I have a 20 yr old just diagnosed son. He has had help from groups from our local council and gp before the diagnosis but they dont seem to have done anything whatsoever.

Id like to start a new post in its own section but cant lol so this is a hi and can you help? Our son who has always had outbursts and struggles to contain his temper, is becoming more and more aggressive. He has lashed out towards me a couple of times recently and now I'm concerned, what if it happens to my wife? We have tried all different types of dealing with this over the yrs, from talking calmly, to walking away, to let rant, you name it. Its just getting worse. 

Any advice, thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the NAS community, I hope you find this to be a useful space.


    Just as much as your son deserves the right care and support to thrive, so do you and your wife deserve those things.

    While I am sure that our fantastic community will have suggestions, I would like to direct you in the direction of the following resources:

    Behaviour

    Furthermore, I wonder if there would be any available suitable resources in your local area listed upon our directory.
    It may also be worth to note, we provide a parental to parent emotional support helpline:

    I wish you the best in finding a way to resolve your son’s behaviour in a way that everyone can benefit from.

    Thanks - Zac Mod.
