Hi, my son has just been diagnosed with high functioning autism (aspergers), he is 8, nearly 9. We are having difficulty dealing with his behaviour at home. Tonight he wouldn't stop watching TV when we told him it was time to go upstairs for a bath. He'd been watching it for a long time so we quite firm that it was time to turn it off. He had a really massive mega meltdown which resulted in physical violence towards us and him thorwing things around and destroying things. My other half got very cross and shouted a lot which didn't help but I just don't know how to deal with it when he starts throwing stuff around - we can't let him continue to destroy his and our belongings so we have to stop him.
Any advice pleae? We are desparate as this is making us all unhappy.
Thanks
