Hi
My son is 11. Diagnosed May 2024 though i suspect autism since he was 18 months old and have fought ever since.
My question is, during a meltdown he becomes aggressive, hitting, biting, scratching and kicking, towards me or his older brother.
Should he be disaplined for these behaviours even though they hapoen when he is in meltdown?
Thanks
