Yesterday I went in to my parents garden to discover that DS had scratched the bonnets of both their cars by playing with a metal toy car on them. He also tried to throw a brick at the cars and had at least three major melt downs in one afternoon. He then spat in my face - not in a spiteful way but just to try it out because he had seen it done at school.
It was my worst day ever and I ended up physically carrying him into the house and putting him to bed where he continued to scream and shout out of the bedroom window for about three hours.
I have taken computer time away from him for the week and said no pocket money for a month. I am so new to all this (he is still being assessed for ASD) and I don t even know if he understands what he is being punished for. I am at my wits end. Can someone please give me some advice or at least tell me some experiences so I can get a handle on this. My parents were furious about their cars but have calmed down now and are trying to be understanding but they are quite old and just see it as naughtiness I think.
