Anger management - do you know any good trainers?

I am at my wits end with my ds's ever increasing behaviour and self-harming and it is affecting both me and my ds.
I had to keep him off school on Friday as he'd scratched his face down both sides in anger and frustration (something went wrong with his Gameboy). He would have been asked what was wrong with his face had he gone to school as it looked awful.

His behaviour is so rude and he just never stops talking. He pushes and pushes until he gets a reaction and I feel i'm losing my temper too much. Previously he would usually do this only when I was around, but he does it in public now and infront of friends and family.

I need some pointers on how to stay calm and I think he could do with some too. Could anyone recommend someone who has a good knowledge of AS?

Do you have a child and adolescent mental health service near you... (CAMHS) You doctor should be able to refer you...

I feel for you both as I know how worrying this can be...

Good luck....

He's already with CAMH Rummum - he's been going for over a year and a half now.

Strangely, this latest self-harming happened after we'd had an appt there. The appts used to be more frequent and I noticed that most times after, he would have a major meltdown. I used to get beaten, but these days he doesn't need to raise his fists to make me feel like crying.
