whats going on in his mind

catlover

I have 7 year old grandson with aspergers he can be very violent to his mum my daughter kicking punching swearing When things are calm again she talks about what the problem was.She one time asked Are you happy? His reply I dont know Then asked are you sad? His reply I dont know Whats the difference? This makes me feel very SAD.When he is ok and not getting angry he seems happy and content.BUT when he is upset it breaks my heart to think of whats going on in his mind

  • This is a tough subject but i'm glad to hear you are reaching out :)

    Often people with ASD get frustrated and annoyed because of feelings and emotions building up without them really understanding them. We have trouble parsing what makes us feel a certain way, and even figuring out how we feel. Sometimes people lash out or throw tantrums.

    A way of dealing with these things is to go through the motions of what happened before the event. Perhaps something earlier in the day upset them, perhaps certain sensory problems like bright lights, loud places or bad smells made them upset. Unfortunately learning to deal with things one by one takes a little longer to do with us.

    Reading a few books on the subject might help you better understand, and feel free to ask back if you want any more help :)
