Struggling with behaviour

NAS85789

I was writing for some advice about my 5 year old son. He is awaiting assessment for asd and I also wonder if he has adhd. He masks usually at school.  Recently his behaviour has escalated due to school holidays and lots going on. As he gets older his behaviour is getting worse. He screams from morning to evening. I have tried to keep consistency, sensory time through crunchy snacks, heavy bags, running.  However recently he has started swearing a lot in public And today we went to soft play and he started screaming the f word. I decided we had to leave but he attacked me in the street, kicking and pulling my hair. Really struggling to deal with his behaviour and wondering if anyone has any advice? Do I avoid public places for now? Regarding his swearing it is like a tic and not sure know to deal with this. He has been doing it since he was 4 but it is getting a lot worse.  He has a younger brother and it’s starting to affect his behaviour.

  • Do these tics happen at home too? Do they only happen in stressful environments? 

    Last year of Primary schools my son was going through severe amounts of stress & had severe anxiety. He developed eye/face movements that he wasn’t aware were happening.

    I started recording him secretly as I didn’t want him to be self conscious. I went to the doctors with the video evidence who requested to see him in person.

    The doctor did an examination and said going from the information we provided, the videos and the tics being new that it looked like stress induced tics.

    Maybe he’s swearing as soft plays a stressful environment for him? 

    My child also says lots of swear words aswell as other inappropriate language. Even after all these years he’s 13 now I still don’t have the answer to this.
