Hi, I'm new to this. My son is 15, diagnosed for 10 years and at main stream school. He gets obsessed with things and excited about them. He is ok in school but at home he is noisy. He jumps, he runs up and down the house, he flaps his arms, he chews his watch, he flicks his pen torch and he makes noises. He can get angry if we ask him to calm down. Sometimes it's just too noisy but also I wish he would stop. I feel like it's going to stop him fulfilling the life he wants. If other children see they think he's "weird". It breaks my heart that my relationship with my son has been defined by ASD and I worry about protecting him as he gets older if this behaviour carries on.
My question is, how do others manage and do you know if in your experience its something that lessens as he'll get older?
