Struggling with behaviour

NAS50861

Hi Everyone,

my son is 4 and has ASD.  He’s recently started reception in a specialist classroom at a mainstream school.

ever since my daughter was born in March 17 his behaviour has been getting worse and worse, he attacks her constantly (pulls hair, pulls her to the ground, slaps her around the face etc) and he attacks me in the same ways.  He is better when their dad is around because for some reason he listens to him more than he does me, but not entirely (I’m a stay at home mum).

at school he hurts other children and sometimes teachers too when he gets a chance.

being at home all the time, it’s really starting to get me down a lot and I feel I’m becoming depressed because I don’t know what to do.  He finds it funny when he hurts us and even funnier if he pushes us so much that we end up crying.  My anxiety is getting really bad because I’m worried about what he’s done to people at school.

any advice or tips from anyone who may have been through the same?

thanks :)

  • Hi 

    I can't say I've been through this as my daughter only really lashes out at her sister, 

    Couple of things is he lashing out when told to do something? And what is happens after? 

    I have heard of children that can get violent when told to do things as it generally ends with them being separated from people (time out sort of thing) which is what they really wanted in the first place. Like the idea of picking a fight so you don't have to do what your told? 

    I'm not sure if any of that rings true or is even helpful but I just wanted you to know that you are not alone x
