behaviour

kraken468

              Hi everyone

     You never think it will happen to you... "kraken468" is our son. He was diagnosticated with ASD eight weeks ago. Has a speech delay and his behaviour is becoming agressive when he kicks, hits or throws... Sometimes, we try to ignore it to defuse it or use distraction and divert it and it all comes ramdom... 

    A big THANK YOU to the people behind the screen on this site. If you are in same circumstances and if you are willing, you could share your story or experience. Its still early stages for us and we need an upgade on advice. What other options to deal with kraken's behavior? Carpe diem !!!

 

   Thank you

Parents

  • Hello kraken468

    I guess the answer to that depends on why he's so against doing these things. Difficulty with transitions and knowing what's coming next could be an issue for him, as could sensory difficulties. Hopefully once you start getting more support from Portage, you'll get more strategies to manage these difficulties.

    Here's a link to some NAS information about behaviour which might give you some ideas about the sorts of reasons which might be relevant to your son and some advice about what to do next:

    Also included in that is a link to the Autism helpline (page 4 of the article) which might be useful if you wanted to discuss any of the strategies or issues further.

    If anyone has experience of the probllems described here, please do chip in and let us know what helped.

    Good luck.
