Meowing all the time

My 11 year old son has started meowing all the time, like sometimes once every 30 seconds. When he isn't making that sound its another and then another.  He is literally non stop. 

My husband has to leave the house to escape it as it sometimes gets too much for him.

Its so hard at the moment. He hates school. I have managed to convince him to do mornings as we are both keyworkers but he is due in properly again on Monday. 

His moods are v fragile and prone to flick of a switch changes. He is v unpredictable.  We have taken to letting him stay on screen as its the only thing that calms him down as he is completely in control of it. 

I am not sure what point I wanted to make and I don't really have a question. I guess I am feeling really low and I need support from others who know what it is like .

Anyway, should probably leave it there.  Thanks for "listening".

  • Both of my children have done this, I am autistic myself and I found it difficult to cope with. I think my son was worse and it went on for a long time, but not very frequently. My children are now older and have stopped - I have not had trouble with school refusal problems, but hopefully someone on here will be able to help you.

    The parent to parent support line (phone) is really good if you feel that might be helpful.
