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 all, Thanks for all your responses, I had been thinking maybe puberty is starting (he suddenly gotten taller and filled out etc). It sounds awful, but I hadn't put much thought into puberty, maybe I now need to. @mharai it is very hard The two boys sharing a room, and your idea about a sofa bed is a good one, but my youngest son is the one that has been moved from pillar to post between rooms, and I really don't want to do that to him anymore, but maybe he could have my and hubby's room and we could sleep downstairs, it is definitely something we will need to discuss. Part of his reasoning could be that a few weeks ago the boys dad told them a couple of weeks ago he was getting married. In itself not a problem I've married and they get on with their dad gd, I only say as long man has made me think back a few weeks. I know my younger son get anti upset about it, but luke didn't really show anything, I know that doesn't mean he isn't feeling anything, it is just so hard sometimes to read him. Could it be that we were given a diagnosis a few weeks ago also, I will be honest we haven't sat down with him or the the other two and explained properly as we are trying to find away to explain so all three will understand. Or do you think it could be the combination of the two plus any sensory issues? Will be grateful for any more advice, my head feels lik it's constantly go round and round but not coming up with anything new! I will add that although we only had a diagnosis a few weeks ago we have been fighting to get one for ten years. Thanks all Kimx
