I'm having a really hard time getting my 11 yr old to stop being aggressive

Yasmin1592

Hello,

I am a single parent, I have 2 kids with autism, one verbal one non verbal and also  toddler has been referred for an ASD assessment! 

Anyway, over the last couple of weeks, my eldest who is 11 ( verbal) has started being more aggressive  usual. 

He constantly shouts and screams at me, for the slightest of things like asking him to hang his jacket up, or for me telling him not to through hard objects across the room. He also has ADHD and SPD, I do sensory therapy three times a day at home, plus he has it weekly with a specialist. He is on maximum meds for his height and weight for his ADHD. 

His recent speech and language assessment, put him at age 7-8 yrs old for understanding, so although he can speak he is a few years behind with understanding. 

Anyway, I just don't know what I can do to stop his aggressive behaviour and threatening behaviour toward me. I've tried rewards for good behaviour, ignoring etc but it just doesn't seem to be working this time. 

im really worn down with being constantly shouted at etc. 

Any advice?
