1yr old behavioural problem

[Kerrix20]

My son has been having serious flip outs since he's been about 6months. But its getting out of control. He starts crying and soon as things don't go his way he loses it, and cries so hard he can't catch his breath, he sobs hards, or vomits and goes to places where he won't hear you or won't let you hold him or comfort him and you can't calm him down for almost an hour.
I don't know what to do as it seems to be getting more and more frequent.
Do you think this could be autism or hes just spoilt?

Really not sure how you could spoil a 1 year old. What does that mean?

As for ASD it's too early to tell yet. Once he's reached 15 months you can do the ]https://m-chat.org/en-us/page/take-m-chat-test/online MChat Teat which should give you an idea if you he needs further assessment.

This SLT checkerr* from ICan might be useful too.

What i mean by spoilt is, he throws really bad tantrums and he gets everything he wants because I don't want him going to that level because he gets so upset. Its hard to watch when he is crying so hard that he can't catch his breath and pushes you away. But as soon as I give him what he wants he comes to. He's a lockdown baby so has mine and my parents every ounce of attention since he's born, and has never been left to cry.

It's really hard when you say no and they tantrum but it's a normal part if growing up and they do need to know that there are times when they can't have exactly what they want.

Next time you feel strongly enough to say no, mean it and ignore the tantrum. You could leave the room if you want to. Ignoring it really is the best way of dealing with it.

Just a normal tantrum. He doesn't even know why he's crying at this age really, just that he's cross. Definitely not that he's spoilt.

Could you explain a bit more?

What happens to prompt these tantrums? What are you doing at the time? Are you giving him choices, just removing items, taking out, explaining as you go etc?

I am not trying to blame you at all for this so please don’t think I am! I just don’t want to give you a load of advice about managing emotions in toddlers and you be thinking “yeah I do all that, self important cow” 😆😆
