Hi my 7 year old son is diagnosed with autism and adhd. He has always struggled going to school although when he is there they say he’s ok. My problem is he is getting more angry and hitting, punching, kicking, throwing and breaking things. Nearly every day he hits and punches me. He screams he hates me every day to. We are going to see about medication next week but I don’t know what to do to help him, he says he doesn’t know why he’s angry, but then says it’s because he hates school and I make him go. Any advice please

  • Sounds very much like my son, same diagnoses too. Medication could really help with the ADHD. Sounds like he is not getting the support he needs to manage school and so he his lashing out at home. Do you have a good relationship with the SENco at the school? Bless him, he will need a significant amount of positive support and a consistent approach that all staff at the school, not just the teachers, should be adhering to. In hope the school are supportive of you too. I found that some physical fun immediately after school in the park or garden helped lower the frustration levels. I also got my son a trampoline that helped. Keep knives and anything harmful locked up if necessary. I had to sometimes lock myself in the bathroom or downstairs loo sometimes and passes him messages under the door as i found talking inflamed him. Sometimes, message would be a sad face, or a sketch of me hugging him. This was successful for a time too. Take care.
