[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 132055"] I just wanted to add my welcome. The others have given great advice and you sound like you are really on top of things. My daughter does not have Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), but I can relate to your brother's behavior when he is melt-down mode. At that point with my kiddo, there is no talking or reasoning with her. She isn't capable of processing both emotions and logic at the same time. I've been asked several times if she was deprived of oxygen at birth and while the cord was around her neck, I was never told of any oxygen deprivation. Apparently, though, her behavior and what was found during the neuropsychologist evaluation suggests that she was. Once she has calmed down, we can talk. She has had several full-tilt meltdowns that she has little to no memory of afterwards. You're very right about not raising your voice. When they're in melt-down they're already out of control and raising your voice will probably just send him further over the edge. Easier said than done, I know. There were times I bit my lips til I bled. Other times, I wasn't as successful. It's a learning process for us, too...finding out what triggers the behavior and trying to head it off at the pass.
