You either get it or you don’t, the point is the shock and the pain and feeling like you are a bad person, even though you aren’t. Feeling alone, even though you aren’t. But intellectual, you mostly are. NO ONE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HURT ANYONE. If more people said their rage, maybe less of those heinous things would actually happen. Be cool. And to the guy or girl who feels like that with autism, you aren’t alone. We are all out here too, you just need to remember that in the in-between.

You give us ...I second what this Grandma has said. You give us hope! Your family loves you for who you are for always. My heart is beaming because you have grown beyond the rages. I love my boy with all my heart and soul. My sweet 10 year old son has become more and more angry in the last 6 months. I am so sad that he has regressed so much. Sometimes I feel very alone in trying to help him through these episodes. I don’t trust people with my children. I personally had quite a few unsavory experiences with teachers and counselors. Therefore, his father and I have chosen to explore alternative more natural treatments. I have realized and embraced that my son is amazingly different. He seems to know things before they happen, has taught himself to read, has an almost Eidetic memory, and still loves to hug me! “This too shall pass”. I’m praying for you, dear. Please allow your past and now your brighter present and future to empower you and all other people on the spectrum!

My sons rages don’t need apologising for, they are part of him and it’s our job to guide him in the right direction, if anything your parents will be proud of how far you’ve come what you’ve achieved and accomplished with self regulation. Parents love is unconditional please remember that.

My granddaughter is autistic and we love her with all our heart. When she has a meltdown we understand that it is part of what she has to go thru, not what we have to go thru. There is nothing to forgive, love conquers all things. So, love your family and thank God for those who love you and understand what you go thru. We have learned a lot thru " Autism Speaks". You are going to be just fine.

I have a lot of guilt for how I behaved during these events. I have apologized profusely to my family both after the events and more recently. My family has repeatedly assured me I have their full forgiveness. It's difficult to talk to people about because people who are not framiliar with autism would judge me harshly if I tried to talk about it. Recently, I have been thinking a lot about how I behaved, and my guilt has been impacting my mental health. I wish to move on,but I feel like I don't deserve to be able to move on and not think about my mistakes.

But without it, he is a danger to our family and people at school. Years of ABA therapy made no difference in his behavior. And now that he has been on this medication for 4 years, it no longer completely controls his rages as it used to despite increasing the dose. It is scary as he gets older and larger. And there is no help for us out there. Everyone I have contacted from psychiatrists, developmental pediatricians, ABA therapists,to behavioral health in-patient, behavioral health crises team,and children's hospital, all were unable to offer any real help or answers. I have googled and searched for answers and have found many others with this problem, but no answers. <br />Given the rising number of people with ASD, this is a growing problem that IMO needs to be addressed by government social services. But they will probably not do anything to help us, the same way they have handled other behavioral and mental disorders where people wind up homeless or in jail. I don't like to think this, but it's hard not to fear that one day my kid will hurt someone during one of his blind rages and end up shot by police or in jail.

And is getting a psych eval. He has been having meltdowns since before preschool. I learned how to cope with them using distraction and humor and they became better, decreasing in time and intensity and incidents became fewer. But now, the last few months, it has gotten so much worse. He weighs 120 and is a big child, and i am a single mother trying to survive. He flies into rages almost every other day that last up to 3-4 hours at a time. He screams and cries, punches, kicks, throws things and hides. Last night was the worst one yet. He punched the side of the fridge repeatedly and i could hear things falling inside the fridge. Then when i insisted he come up to the couch and tried to physically move him he ran to his room and hid under his brothers bed. I told him that was fine as long as he didn't hit the wall or floor bc we live on the third floor and so have neighbors under us. He continued to get louder and more angry and started to punch the walls. I had to pull him out from under the bed and restrain him. That's when i noticed his knuckle bleeding. He was trying to bite me, throw things at me and almost brought their desk down on top of us both. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so scared hes going to get taken away and put in a locked facility. We need help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875041354183597102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-83912496092257047902016-12-05T14:47:11.885-08:002016-12-05T14:47:11.885-08:00Thank you for commenting.

I've got it under control now and I find deep breathing, counting to ten and walking away from the scenario is highly effective. After you've worn off the initial rage I recommend reflecting and coming to terms to why you nearly blew up, I do this by drawing, so help your kids work through their negative feelings using their special interests. Hopefully that will help.Gothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143038680724400665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-53282672498084035042016-07-24T19:38:56.145-07:002016-07-24T19:38:56.145-07:00Joshua -- you do realize that you could, actually,...Joshua -- you do realize that you could, actually, be reported and arrested for commentary like that?
