Thank you for your reply. Just wanted some geneneral advice about how other parents manage behaviour - my son seems to have meltdowns at almost all outside situations eg parties, outside events even playing in the park and it can be the most trivial thing that sets him off. We are getting to the stage of being on edge every time we go out and avoiding lots of social situations, it is very wearing. He was first investigated for aspergers at age five and its taken till now to have been told the actual phrase was "we don't think he has aspergers but we can't rule it out as he has very definite aspergers tendancies" so make of that what you will! Anyway just wanted to sound off really and talk to people who really know how to manage this on a day to day basis and not "experts" who see him for ten minutes and come to a decision about him. Thank you.
