My 3.5 yr old is currently non-verbal and awaiting assessment which we started at year ago but has took until recently to get him on a waiting list to actually have his assessment as my local nhs changed how they do their assessments.
he is currently not attending any nursery even though he should be as they feel he needs support but can’t get any extra funding for this.
main problem the now is his temper, the littlest thing at the minute sets him off, we are hit, bit, kicked, scratched things thrown at his, he screams stomps.
any advice on how to handle this?
Hello NAS82883,
Many autistic people have meltdowns and on the below link you will find out how to anticipate them, identify their causes and minimise their frequency.
