We’ve just found out he has hearing problems. They think glue ear but as it stands, he can hear very little. It explains why he ignores people and talks in a very unique way (DP and I can understand him but others can’t, and he won’t talk unless he has to).
However he is very aggressive. I expect there’s frustration from his struggle to communicate as he gets upset if people don’t understand what he’s saying. However he throws things, smacks us across the face, scratches us, bites us, smacks himself, headbutts us. He also does this when he’s excited. When I say no, he just screams and smacks me.
Until we discovered his hearing, I thought he was autistic.
Is this behaviour normal in children with hearing issues or does it sound like something else?
