Good evening all,
I am busy navigating my way around the world of ASD, my 13 year old boy was diagnosed in Jan this year. It was not a huge surprise, I had been aking for support since her was a toddler...I completed a 12 week parent class, and was going to be put on another! But luckily we managed to access support via a different agency and here we are! Since diagnosis we have heard nothing and received no support. I have badgered the school adn finally go them to accept that they must be involved with his diagnosis, and put things in place...but his anger (when anxious) at home is so hard to deal with. He has always had meltdowns. People that have not witnessed them, think that we exaggerate but it is HELL! HE has had one tongiht, as he is settling back into school life after the easter hols (always worse first week back). He is as big as me and when he switches, he is unreachable. Problem is, you cant contain him, he follows, goading...and will just keep on going...its awful...I feel so sorry for my other son, he is 15..it is so difficult for him too. I have contacted a link on here, to see if we can access some family seminar and really would like some anger management for him too...we wil see....Naively I thought diagnosis would be the beginning of help for us all, but we have just been left swimming alone in a deep dark sea... THanks for listening x
