HF ASD, increased violence, where can I go for help?

[professorpoopsnagle]

DS (6) has HF ASD. We are having more and more violent outbursts, with him hurting his siblings and his parents. It's got to the point where I need to try and do something about it. I don't know where to go for support, we have been discharged by the paed and he behaves much better at school. Does anyone have some ideas on what we can do, or where I should be going for help?

I'm looking forward to reading the responses you get as I am in a similar postition with my DS (also 6, also HFA ASD).

His Paed has referred me for some CAHMS seminars and for an Ed Psch to go in to observe him but that hasn't happened as yet.

I was surprised to see you say he has been discharged by the paed as his support needs may / will change as he gets older (a good example being now).

This might be useful on Thursday.
