[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474363, member: 12886"] Oh Crystal, so sorry. Yes, true, sadly no cure for autism. But in your case you are so desperately in need of in home services. I know you are asking and they just aren't helping much. I can't remember if he is on medications? Here, our challenge is that difficult child is growing so fast medications are not as effective as they used to be. It can be very dangerous. I hope the folks in this inpatient place will listen to you and try to help. How is daughter? is she just used to all of this or is she afraid? My son has never gone after me with a weapon. He has said he would but so far (knock cyber wood) he has never said he is going to do something then done it.) his violence is always impulsive when super anxious. But since he was very little for many reasons (lke he will cut his own hair, thinks it is fun....still will do this at age 14) I have locks on two of my kitchen cabinets/drawers. All knives and scissors and any medications or chemicals that he might play with are in there (he will spray insecticide because he likes the smell). They are the kinds that you need a magnet to open. I suppose he could break them but hasn't tried yet. I know you can put key locks on them if it is your house. I rent so had to go with this. He still could throw heavy things and has done so so my house is not as pretty as I wish I could have it. Small price to pay for safety. I am not as worried about a remote control being flung at me compared to large candle or a knife, smile. Strange thing to say/strange choices to make...non difficult child houses would be horrified I would even have to make the decision,right??? I hope your son is able to calm down and get help. I also hope the other kids are okay and that as a family you can try to do something fun together. My son just found out he is probably not going to trick or treat because of being in the hospital , SO hard. it is not their fault they are autistic. I am glad you checked in, was thinking of you lots. Let us know how things are going! Or just come and vent. [/QUOTE]
