Does he not understand or does he not care

My son is constantly doing things that he knows he is not supposed to. My son is seven and attends a specialist school due to not being able to manage his anger, he does not have an official diagnosis. I am a single mother and there is no contact with father. My son has been going in my room and going through my draws to find a phone with games on it, he sneaks treats from the kitchen. Because of this he's not allowed to have treats or the phone and because he's not allowed these things he goes behind my back to get them anyway. I'm not sure what else to do because it's not only an invasion of my own privacy but I'm beginning not to trust him. I don't want to start putting locks on doors as it's his home as well.

If there are any suggestions please share them.

Is he never allowed to have treats or the phone or were they just removed for punishment? If punishment, how long for?

He is on a waiting list to be assessed at all?

DS has ADHD & he would constantly eat treats, we had to hide them or he would just keep eating until they were gone. I have a young cousin who’s DS with ADHD is the same. When things were removed for punishment he would also rummage to find them. It wasn’t a purposeful invasion of privacy, simply impulsive behaviour and/or being so hyper focused on wanting the game. Very frustrating.
