Hi everyone my son is undergoing diagnosis for ASD.
From 10 months he has bit himself and others. We have tried everything under the sun to try and stop this , but he's so little so he doesn't understand plus he has these additional needs. He is also a thrower.
It has gotten to the point I am very isolated as he bites people if they are at our house - not always when he's mad , quite often he's excited. He also throws things wherever we go and then screams if I take anything off of him because he threw it... very stressful.
I have tried sensory diet, redirection and discipline. Please believe me when i say nothing works. Thankfully this behaviour is cyclical ; so we have periods where he won't bite so much - or throw.
He will have some great weeks, I almost doubt he has autism. And then we go right back to pocketing food, self injurious behaviour , throwing, meltdowns , little sleep and lots of stimming etc
Does anyone else notice this with their kids? Good spells and bad spells ?
We give him fish oil and he is on iron meds , he eats fairly well - despite sometimes storing food in his mouth - so we are lucky there- he's getting decent nutrition etc
I have tried the whole ABC process too and it's basically when he's excited or mad he will produce challenging behaviour - so we have the source... but still no way in how we handle it.
Im.scared he won't outgrow this behaviour. Can anyone help?
