Re: How to discipline.....

[Guest guest]

I suggest consulting a mental health provider who has advanced knowledge in dealing with tantruming kids on the AS. Totally different ballgame than NT kids.Good luck!tt

 

I have been wondering how I should discipline or handle my son when he has his rage fits. When told no or something doesnt go the way he thinks its going to he attacks people or even his self. If no one is near him he will seek out the closest person to him and hit them, headbutt them or throw something. Sometimes though he will just hurt his self. In our house we have like indoor/outdoor kinda carpet with no padding underneath and the other night he got mad and slammed his head into the concrete. Then got mad cause he got hurt so he did the alligator death roll then got up and started throwing everything around him. Im tired of getting hurt and scared hes going to seriously hurt his self. What would be the best way to handle situations like this?

how old is your son? when my auti was younger I would bear hug him

during his fits. get in floor with my legs over his and my arms

wrapped tightly around his arms and body. That was the only thing that

could calm him down sometimes. Now that he is older, his therapist

has given him other ways to calm himself down (not that I could

control a 6', 150lb. teen anyways!)

[Guest guest]

Throw some freezing cold water on him? Do you think that will calm him? Better

to do that than to get hurt. Do you have him on any meds? Does he receive any

anger control classes? Best of luck!

From someone with Aspergers and mom of at least 2 kids with autism/aspergers...i would NOT recommend to throw water on them!  I know that would just make me and my kids more mad than we were already! Plus in some places that would be considered child abuse

 

Throw some freezing cold water on him? Do you think that will calm him?

[Guest guest]

Lol, no hes 16 months old. We just got our first referral yesterday to see a

specialist. But the older hes getting the worse these fits are getting.

Our psychiatrist suggested rolling our son in a blanket and holding him until he calmed down.

Sara, he might have sensory issues causing him to behave this way. Some kids on

the spectrum have sensory issues and some neuro-typical kiddos also have sensory

processing dysfunction. Mine does all the behaviors you are listing and does it

in school too when he's overwhelmed. We are starting OT again on a regular basis

to see if it helps him again. The OT we loved changed jobs and we finally found

her again. Anyway...hitting, biting, kicking, headbutting can all be signs of

proprioceptive dysfunction. We give him " heavy work " and " deep pressure " to help

keep him regulated. You might be able to get into an OT faster than the

developmental pediatrician you were referred over to...

Some links for you to look at when you get a chance:

If you think he's in control of his behavior then I'd talk to a psych but he's

16 months old and hitting, biting etc. Kids in that age range go through that

kind of a stage, especially when their communication skills are underdeveloped.

No is an appropriate response...If you think he's doing it to get a reaction

then the general thought on this is to provide him with the least amount of

" emotion " or response when these things happen. Try to instead give more

positive attention when you are seeing behaviors you'd prefer to see.

Doing the sensory based activities will not hurt your child. They are meant to

be fun and game-like. We do them in 5-10 minute activities spread out throughout

a day at about 1.5-2 hour intervals. You could " experiment " and see if he has

better days after doing some of these activities/playing these games with him.

I'd stay away from erratic movement activities but hugs (deep pressure type

activities) and heavy work should be calming. Mine likes to hide under the couch

cushions while lying on the floor...at 16 months, that just might be sufficient

" deep pressure " for your son. Like a pillow fort...

Mine sometimes bites his own toes, fingers and shirt collar...he now wears a

necklace that is made for him to bite/chew on...

If the older kids stop, then Colton may resort to this on his own...How long did

you say you have to wait before you can get into see the specialist?

at 16 months I would put him in his crib if he can't get out or in his room . They have a basket hold which works for little tots but sometimes touch really makes them worse so you would lneed to talk with a doctor about that

Yeah I've tried holding his hands when he raises them to hit, If I can catch him in time and It really just pissed him off. And everything I keep finding about discipline is for older children so its kinda hard. I actually asked his dr. yesterday and she have me a paper about it but again its for older children. It says to use time out. But He wouldn't understand that if I did it. To: "autism-aspergers "

Lol, no hes 16 months old. We just got our first referral yesterday to see a specialist. But the older hes getting the worse these fits are getting. ------------------------------>Throw some freezing cold water on him? Do you think that will calm him? Better to do that than to get hurt. Do you have him on any meds? Does he receive any anger control classes?

I used to sit behind my Tom and cuddle him, his back to my chest until he was calm. My legs wrapped around his, my arms around his. To: "autism-aspergers " <autism-aspergers > Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 2:26 PM Subject: Re: How to discipline.....

Yeah I've tried holding his hands when he raises them to hit, If I can catch him in time and It really just pissed him off. And everything I keep finding about discipline is for older children so its kinda hard. I actually asked his dr. yesterday and she have me a paper about it but again its for older children. It says to use time out. But He wouldn't understand that if I did it. To: "autism-aspergers "

at 16 months I would put him in his crib if he can't get out or in his room . They have a basket hold which works for little tots but sometimes touch really makes them worse so you would lneed to talk with a doctor about that

Someone else told me to do that too. That one will have to wait though. I'm 2 weeks away from my due date. So It's hard to get really close to him...lol. I will have to try that though. To: "autism-aspergers " <autism-aspergers > Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 2:45 PM Subject: Re: How to
