Struggling with behaviour of 10 yr old son

NAS15696

I'm really struggling with the behaviour of my 10 yr old son (recently diagnosed asbergers). When he feels unsafe/unhappy/stressed/can't get his own way, he goes into 'lockdown' mode and i'm finding it increasingly difficult to draw him out of it. Sometimes I just leave him be and give him time to 'come out' of it at his own pace but often this is not possible. For example when we: have to get to school/appointment/work or when he is actually putting himself in physical danger.  It is impossible to reason with him when he is like this and I don't know what to do anymore. Can anyone offer any help or advice please?!

  • That should help - there are lots of parents with similar issues. Hopefully some will follow up with their experiences and solutions.

    He is likely to be pressured by coping with life at an age when he will start to appear much more different from his age group.

    Do you know if he is being bullied at school, or left out of games and activities, or having his differences pointed out to him through name calling, or classmates taking advantage of his vulnerability?
