Hey all;
I normally post on the special needs board; but reckon I would get more replies here.
DS has a social communication disorder and verbal dyspraxia. His 6.
His behaviour is becoming out of control and I am at my wits end.
DS has started a new thing; that whenever he gets angry; he thinks its ok to lash out at people. We had an atrocious morning today; we take the train to school. On the train, for whatever reason, DS was angry over something and he started to gently kick me; I told DS " No stop, no kicking". He proceeded to get even more angry, spitting at me and was holding on to the other passengers, this may of looked innocent to others; but knowing DS and how he treats me when his angry; I knew he may try to get aggressive towards them. So I told DS that " we are coming off the train, until he calms down"; which we did and to which he obviously doesn't like. DS started to get angry and began to push and hit me; but I kept telling him that "until he calms down; he won't be able to get on to the train". We went back on the next train; and he was crying; but he wasn't being aggressive towards me.
When we got off the train and began to walk to his school; he was angry and crying so I literally had to drag him into school today as he refused to walk.
I'm actually at my wits end with this new behaviour his now exhibiting. I'm considering to take him on the bus to school from now on, it will take an hour to get to his school if I did this; but I feel I can protect him, myself and others from his harm if I did this as there wouldn't be people around me. On the train it's a bit difficult as people are around us; but on the seat of a bus; I can barricade him more easily and I would continue with the method that If he stars misbehaving; I would get off the bus for him to calm down and we can get back on the bus.
I'm not sure if this is the right thing.
But this behaviour is so draining; I literally wanted to break down; his becoming very oppositional; not listening and he wasn't like this before ! I don't know what's happening to him.
I feel like a shit mum as it is; and I know people were laughing at us when on the train (sigh).
