I have an 8 year old high functioning autistic son. When his screen time finishes on his kids’ iPad (he only is allowed 30 mins per day) he rages - extremely violent and aggressive and frankly dangerous with punching, biting, kicking, scratching, screaming, slapping. Nothing else triggers him like it and 99% of the rest of the time he is very regulated.
Can anyone else relate to this and offer up suggestions as to how to support him and me please? His specialist school have provided social stories and are aware.
After a very challenging day I’m minded to just say that’s it, never having the iPad back, but I don’t know if that’s the best way forward in the long term.
Thanks!
