My son is nearly 3. He is non verbal i think ASD but not yet diagnosed. When hes angr/upset he will throw himself back on to anything lift up his head to bang it back down onto floor/wall. And now has started to slap himself really really hard in the face. Hes so strong i dont know what to do i always try to calm him down and figure out what he wants or whats upsetting him i know hes frustrating because cant tell us verbally. But how can i help him i feel he really is going to cause injury if this carries on ☹️

That must be distressing for all of you @Alwaysmum11

What help are you getting so far? Has he had a hearing test and being seen by SLT? Can he do any Makaton?

Has he already been referred for ASD assessment and have you found the SN Section on Mn yet? The MNers in there are usually very helpful Flowers
