anyone else out there getting beaten up daily?? i'm seriously at my wit's end. my son, now 12, is diagnosed with PDD-NOS, non-verbal, dna testing in process for chromosome 17 abnormalities, all of which seem to equal aggression. He's been on risperidone for a couple of years, takes melatonin at night which has improved sleep pattern, ie he doesn't wake up 7 times a night but sleeps through till 3am and then is up for the day. he doesn't seem angry as such, but just likes hurting me and others, so difficult to go anywhere there are people! no special schools in this isolated piece of Canada and regular school doesn't work well for him. he's also in a wheelchair since an accident in 2005 - gotta love those childcare workers with no common sense.
just wondering if anyone has any ideas, and keen to be in contact with other mums of sn children. also i'm English and very very homesick.
thanks for listening
