My DS is having meltdowns most nights now. He will hit, shout, throw things.
Once he starts off, he can't be reasoned or calmed. We have routines, schedules, now and next boards, charts, menu plans.
I'm utterly exhausted. It's affecting us all, and DH & I often disagree on how to deal with it.
I'm so sad for DS too. I just want to help him. He's high function, and in mainstream.
I feel like we are very alone in this too.
I'm told that it's bad behaviour by family as he behaves just fine out with them. Or that he just needs to burn off a bit more energy etc.
I know my post is a bit all over the place - I'm shattered as he's just had another meltdown, which resulted in DH having to break through the bathroom lock (DS locked himself in there for 40 minutes and just wasn't going to come out)
Please someone advise
