Can anyone help?

Hi. 

I'm a little confused on the usefulness of a diagnosis of Autism, if all the specialists have the attitude  of "It's a mystery", with no concrete recommendations, just vague and wishy why stuff.

 To me it is just that same as saying you have mickey mouse disease.

I have a son with Autism who has major meltdowns sometimes in no reaction to anything happening right then. Mostly repeating a question over and over, getting angrier and angrier. 

Any suggestions?

  • Do you know of ways of "letting of off steam" that are  not violent  or do not encourage violence?

    In the past he would repeat " what time do I see my cousin?" over and over gradually getting angrier and angrier.

    Recently it is "do the  lights come on when it's raining?", asking over and over , first calm then getting angrier and angrier each time he asks it. No answer satisfies. 

    I can try getting him to write but he may snap the pencils if he's going into a state.
