was HALO-HBO-RPM-Soma now aggression

[Guest guest]

Hi !

My son isn't on meds of any kind and hasn't ever been.

I agree that communication skills help the aggression go way down (and

tantrums). Some of the words my son learned that made a tremendous

difference were NO, STOP IT, HELP ME, and more recently, I DONT WANT TO!

or I DON'T WANT TO ANYMORE!.

Unfortunately, he didn't learn " no " or " help me " til he was about 3 1/2,

then " stop it " at around 4 1/2 and " I don't want to " at 5 1/2. So it's a

slow process, but life is wonderful compared to before.

Jay is semi-verbal, but definitely can't express his feelings. I look

forward to that day. Hopefully it will come.
