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

  • thanks for that longman, what you are saying makes perfect sense to me, i just dont know how to help him when he melts down. we have been talking about everything and try to explain as best we can in a way he understands, and he says he does understand, but we all know hi saying he understands and actually understanding are two different things. the doctor who diagnosed him said that we 'manage' luke and his meltdowns very well which is why she needed to see him with a collegue after the initial meeting, but we just dont know if we are doing enough to help him, and like every other parent thats all we want to do. if anyone can tell me, how would an asd child cope with a house move, as it is something my hubby and i have been thinking of doing for a long time. thanks again everyone, being able t come on here and chat about everything really makes me feel our family is not alone. kimx
