[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 345005, member: 1550"] I wouldn't worry about the future now. I raged as a child (even somewhat into adulthood) and the best thing to do was for nobody to talk to me, interact with me, or even be in the same room with me. I could not calm myself if somebody else was there. I had to be alone. This gets touchy if it's a young child. My son who is on the autism spectrum raged a lot when he was a toddler. We took everything out of his room that he could hurt himself with. He had a bed and stuffed animals. When he raged, we held the doorknob shut, but stayed close to hear what was going on. He would try to open the door while we held it (and he was strong!), but eventually he would calm down. Our door took a beating, but oh, well. My son doesn't rage anymore. If he still did, we'd be in trouble. He's 200 lbs! I think sometimes the school interventions help as much or more than medications. I don't think medications alone really stop most raging. medications helped ME tremendously, but I had all sorts of therapy going on too. And my son had no medications at all. He had appropriate interventions so he stopped becoming frustrated. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
