autism violence please help

 My little boy who's 4 has just fallen back to sleep while I'm sat here in floods of tears.

Another night that he's woken up hysterical and to put it bluntly beat the crap out of me.

Without warning he will just wake up screaming bloody murder and completely lay into me kicking punching slapping, there's no reasoning, no stopping, I just have to sit and take it until he finally gets it out of his system.. which usually takes hours.

I love my son with all my heart, but I'm completely terrified of him, I know you'll all think I'm crazy being scared of a four year old child, but he's so big for his age and has so much strength in him he seriously hurts me every single day, we could be sitting playing with his favourite blocks and all of a sudden out of nowhere he will punch me in the face, I'm completely overwhelmed and scared, I'm a single mum with not much of a support system, my mum and dad help when they can but he lashes out at them too and it's horrific, my beautiful little baby kicking my mum in the face, punching my dad in his ribs, it's mortifying. 

I've asked for help from his paediatrician and we get no where, all we get is referrals that never come to anything. He's non verbal and when he gets into his rage there's no calming him, he just attacks

Please someone, anyone just give me some help/advice please!!!

I don't want to be scared of my little baby anymore

  • It's such a shame seeing them go through this and not knowing whats happening To them. Not knowing much about aspergers myself I can't explain to her.  I can't even restrain her in any way when she gets physical as she moves about so much she hurts herself and then says she telling teachers am hitting her. Considering a punch bag for her to use when she feels angry . I hope the helpline gives you the help you need. Xx
