[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 709371, member: 1550"] Yes. I was in a group of parents who had autistic kids. It could be that your son was overstimulated one day and not so much the next day. My son used to have meltdowns more in public than at home. We adopted him and he is a different race from us. One day he took off in a mall and started screaming bloody murder and he didnt scream like a normal kid; it sounded like a wild animal. When i caught him he screamed louder and I had to carry him as he kicked and bit me and screamed,"No! Help!" Everyone was staring and I bet many wondered if this white woman was kidnapping this poor little black kid. If there had been cell phones back then, i am sure somebody would have called the police. Neefless to say, he didnt go shopping with me after that! He could be happy one minute and screaming the next. Transitions were a huge trigger. But with interventions he progressively improved. He had speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy and social skills. Boy, they made a huge difference. He improved immediately. I wont lie. My son was not normally violent like yours and was never verbally scary. But he was hyper and moody and frustrated and he grew up to be unrecognizable to that frustrated little boy. He never loses his temper now! Take a rest. Be kind to yourself. He will be much better when he gets older. I recommend Occupational Therapist (OT), physical therapy, social skills and speech. Even if autistic kids can pronounce words well, they often need to learn how to converse with others. They monologue and dont listen to others or shut down. Give him time. He is being helped now. You rock as parents! [/QUOTE]
