Morning all... First post and new user....
Background: Im a FTM with DS. Living with family, my DP lives nearby ( no funding to live together)
My DS is currently 16 months old. At his 8mo check we were told he may be displaying early signs of Autism...due to certain traits he had..It has now transpired that this is not the case - and the medical staff believe he is showing early signs of Toddler (2 yo) Tantrums...Otherwise known as Terrible TWOS! YAY US...
Now, as a FTM, I have never in my life seen a tantrum like it, and I was a little W*nker myself!! This boy will launch himself down on the floor, scream consistently for around 40 mins. He wants to be picked up, but can't bear to be touched. The only hope is distraction and that works around 85% of the time... I would just like some honest opinions and experiences on how other parents have dealt with tantrums and kept sane????
