hiya

just need somewhere to rant off too! sorry in advance.

My son 5 was diagnosed with asd in april today we are havin a really bad day, he is being awfully bad behaved, telling me to shut up whenever i talk ,slamming doors, just being rude.....im at my wits end with it all as i dont know how to control it or what to say , im getting myself down and he can see it and i feel he plays on that ive tried to be strong for so long but today im at my wits end...

sorry for goin on just needed to get it out

  • Hi there.

    Know how you feel! We have 3 kids, the middle one M with Aspergers and have just had the weekend from hell. Had so much bad behaviour - with M doing his best to deliberately wind his younger sister up, and then screaming when he can't take the older one having a go at him. Are also at our wits end! It just feels like you can't have a normal life and can't relax and enjoy anything.

    It's really hard to know what the best way to react it. I try to be calm, but then wonder if M realises how it's affecting other people if I don't show more how upset I am. After all, he's not good at reading others' emotions, so if I'm not shouting or crying, will he know to take it seriously??? It's just a complete nightmare.

    I know this hasn't answered your questions, but at least you know you're not alone!

    Best,
