my Angry 12year old Autistic Grandson

jonathepainter

I Have now dicided to join here because i need advice from other parents and carers and i will share my help where needed

my Autistic grandson is 12 years old and lived with my wife and myself since he was born

his father has never been involved and his mother says she carn't cope looking after 2 kids so we have looked after him, he is very challenging with his behavour and has many outbursts of rage which will just explode from nothing

we can cope with his anger its the swearing in your face which hurts the most he can be so cruel with his swearing so the people who have looked after him and cared for him through his difficult life

    Hi,

    My experience of school was mainly OK. I did have problems with bullying at secondary school but managed to get through that OK (Police got involved and sorted out the bullies) I wasn't diagnosed until age 56 and I think I was lucky with having a sympathetic and well managed and controlled school and sympathetic parents who, in hindsight, had the right approach. I think a lot of modern schools are too unstructured so school has become more difficult for many kids with the problem. I only got diagnosed recently as I kept having conflicts and misunderstandings at work. Everyone with autism is different but we all have the same problems with understanding what other people expect from us.

    Home schooling has advantages but also avoids the main problem of teaching him how to work with other people. There are good schools out there - some have specialist autism units and there also special schools that really will be better for some kids.
