[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 367575, member: 1991"] I just had to skim, I'm grabbing a moment. First, never underestimate the degree of raging an autistic kid is capable of. They have a very strong direction towards what they feel they need to have or do, and trying to deflect hem from hi very strong sense of purpose will trigger atomic level raging. Forget about whether it is out of proportion tot he trigger - you don't know exactly what the trigger is from the child's point of view and anyway, if the provocation continues then the trigger is multifactorial. The rage can be spectacular and infinite in scope. It is always within the bounds of autism. Then their perspectives are very narrow. Time for them to recognise that in this case, that have just leant a new degree of intensity of raging. Because it DOES fit! Now to a major concern I have - your son has a "I need a break" card, he showed it, and they ignored him. VERY BAD!!! It teaches him that their word is not to be trusted, and in turn this teaches him that nobody will be honest with him and this is because he is not respected. He therefore will be taught that respect is cheap and he will also not show respect, if it is not shown to him. These therapists need to read "Explosive Child" AND to take it on board. NOW. Yesterday. it can be as simple as that. As I am currently dealing with (see my own thread on accusations) people who are seen as experts and who claim considerable experience are still capable of getting things spectacularly wrong.
