Feeling like having son put into care his behaviour is so bad

CharliesDad

Hi,

My wife and I are seriously considering having our 7 year old son taken into care, his behaviour is so difficult to live with.

Everyday he's agressive and attacks my wife, her hands and arms are covered in scratches.

He won't stop eating or asking for food, when we say no he attacks us.

I obviously don't want to send him away, but he's making life a living hell for us. I getting very worried for my wife.

 

Anyone got suggestions with what we can do?

  • I am a parent of a 4yr old son with Autism. Every child is very different on the spectrum; however my son's behaviour vastly improved when he was placed on a gluten free, casein free, soya free diet, under the supervision of a paediatrician. My son has been on a restrictive diet full-time for 1 year and I have no doubt that it has helped him.

    My son no longer appears bloated and suffering from intestinal discomfort and his stools appear to be more normal. We also discovered through blood tests that he was lacking in a number of important vitamins and minerals. Again, under the supervision of a paediatrician we also give him supplementation. These supplements have been incorporated gradually as advised, then monitored and observations recorded.

    The improvements include better sleep, less anxiety, ability to relax, less stimming, more echolalia and now gradually improved concentration levels. There is no magic ticket, but this may be an option to explore. I feel your distress and wish you all the best.
