Help with meltdowns

Kikihill

Hi everyone, 

Im fairly new here and have read a few of the discussions and replied to some.

My eleven year old goes through cycles with his aspergers, at the moment he is having meltdowns  left right and centre.

He gets physically aggressive, throws hinges, scares my younger children (10 and 6) hits , kicks, punches, spits, screams at us breaks things and so on. Myself and my hubby (not his dad biologically) are becoming very worn down and tired. Wfinally got his diagnosis two weeks ago after fighting for ten years. 

We no longer no what to do or try.

Basically any help or receive could bebrilliant.

Thanks

Kimx

  • Hi scorpion, 

    Its good advice,unfortunately not always possible, my son has trashed his room, and when we've gone in there after an hour we have had hiscurtain rail swung at our heads, after he has ripped it off the wall, (unfortunately the rooms isnt big emough for single beds so have bunks) he also destroys his brothers things as they share a room. We have left him in there for a couple of hours then heard screaming after half an hours silence and it turns out hemad managed to break his elbow (it would be my son that breaks the hardest bone in his body!)

    We have tried giving him his own room, but that involved putting our six  year daughter in with our ten year old son....it just didnt work, and we don't have anywhere we could convert into a fourth bedroom :(.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks
