Hi, i learned to re-direct or rephrase my words to my son when i need to "reprimand" him on something; i avoid the word "no" altogether if i can help it. Becoming upset appears to be a typical reaction among the autistic when a negative comment or reprimand is handed them.
I know its tremendously hard to do but being really firm with them during an 'episode" (difficult behavior) to the point of just holding him still until he calms down (if you are able to do it while he is still small), also my son always becomes hot and sweaty when he gets overly upset and cooling him down helps, water seems to be something autism is attracted to, perhaps pouring a bit of fresh/cool water over his arms or use a cool wet cloth over his face and head/back of ears. Each child is different but still seem to share several interests. I hpe it helps, i know how heart breaking and difficult it is but hang in there and always remember you are not alone, God sent us each a special child to teach us things we would never have understood or learned had it not been for them. ↑ |
| This is your son way of telling you i am done, i can't do this anymore. I NEED HELP. I see this same behavior in my 7year old. She almost seems normal when she is at a good place however when she is upset or her body feels wrong she can't use words so she uses behavior. Try to pair words with pictures. Work on the pictures when he is calm, only use pictures that he can understand . I believe that when a child with ASD is acting out they lack the skills to come back down. ↑ |

Cod liver oil really helps.... not only the autistic brain but it also will boost any person's immune system. The healing is gradual. My son, has been healing gradually from ASD with CLO and other supps. There;s more Dr. Megson info on the web. Also check out Dr. Yasko at www.holistichealth.com. Love, Jack's Mom ↑ |
