Hi I am new on this. Really could do with someone to share similar experiences with me. My son was diagnosed at 3yrs, he is now 11. He is a big lad bigger than me as I'm petit. I am a single mum so there's no second hands to help
When he has his trantums, they turn into horrible meltdowns that nothing I can do will help him to calm down. My struggle is I can't physically control him, he will hit and kick me, ly on the floor and kick legs high up. Obviously more hard in the community. Just wanted to ask if anyone has a child similar age with similar outbursts and what do you do in this situation.
Thank you
My Son as just been diagnosed (Today). he turns 18 next month and his behaviour is extremely challenging.is extremely bright and A* student but when he has his melt downs / tantrums they are very verbal usually directed at me or his brother. And I too am at a loss of what to do
Hi S333MAY,
The following link will take you to a section of the National Autistic Society's website all about behaviour, including sections on challenging behaviour and meltdowns in autistic people: http://www.autism.org.uk/about/behaviour.aspx. I hope this is of some use to you.
Best wishes,
