My son has ADHD and ASD High Functioning. Age 14. Can anyone who has direct experience of improving things post, even briefly, to let me know did it get better? He takes medication for school, a low dose medikinet. He regularly blows up and it is so scary the older he gets. At least once a week. He has left holes all around the house which is not new but it is scarier as he gets bigger. He has left bruises on us over the years. Tonight he asked for a new game and I said no. He is new to gaming. Apart from the game itself over 18s, it is extremely expensive. We just paid for something else last week for him. The past hour has been door slamming, roaring, getting into our faces, scaring and hitting his younger sibling. I dread the rest of the evening.
The question 'what is the trigger' is frustrating because I've been hearing that for years, there is no avoidable trigger here except that I did not say yes. Another day the trigger is something else. He is well exercised, well fed.
Any tips? I am re-reading the explosive child. Thank you.
