| Thank. Very sound advice. I'll keep trying with him to identify the reasons behind his feelings and maybe as he gets older he will manage to cope a bit better. I'm sorry to hear you are having the same difficulties. It is heart breaking when your little one gets no pleasure from activities and inste... |

| Thanks for the replies. I have been looking at Cognitive behaviour therapy to. I've tried bowen therapy which does seem to help a little. I think it is difficult as he is still so young. I am trying to get him to tell me what is worrying him but, unfortunately he doesn't know. I did manage to get hi... |

| Dear All Thanks so much for your help. I am making real progress with him. If he starts to go into a meltdown I've been staying calm and distracting him, reassuring him that i love him giving him cuddles etc. Once calm we have been able to discuss his behaviour and he is very sad and says he is so s... |

| I'd definitely ask for a referral to a developmental pead consultant. My little boy often laughs when he is stressed and shows inappropriate emotional reactions. He is also very needy for attention. My first health visitor told me that there was nothing wrong with him. When she went on maternity lea... |

I hate school, if you make me go I'm going to hurt everybody. He is biting himself and attacking staff at school. I know the battle will ensue in the... |

| Hi He was going into school quite well but, i don't know why he has gotten so distressed all of a sudden. I am having a massive struggle just getting him into the car. I am afraid it is not as simple as saying goodbye. It takes both of us 30 mins to get him into the car. He destroys the house attack... |

| Thanks so much for all your replies. We live in the UK. I've asked the school to reduce the pressure on him and currently he is just doing independent learning which seems to be working they have been giving him more space to do his own thing over the past few days and today he actually had a good d... |

| Hi I'm new here, my son was diagnosed just over a year ago and if I'm honest it has taken me this long to accept his diagnosis. He is very able and that has made it difficult as so many people told me I'm sure he does not have autism. However, deep down I had know for a long time that he was unique.... |
