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
Chamomile tea could help him calm down.
Yes, kids need to be disciplined. However, with meltdowns it isn't the best way. He needs time to relax.
So do you discipline the behaviours afterward? He was in meltdown and he never seems to understand or remember what he has done?
