My 7yr old just attacked my 17yr old is it just Aspergers?
7yr old just came home from a night at school, the kids are all camping out in the classroom my son wasnt staying overnight so I picked him up. I asked if he wanted to stay longer and he said no, im getting annoyed
He was lovely in the car talked fine told me all about the night, which is not like him.
He came home his sister was watching TV, she said to him you can have the TV after this she was watching Prison Break I told Matt to not watch he was sitting talking with me. Then he got up turned the tv off went to his sister started screaming saying the show was making him angry it was boring... then she moved the control so he couldnt grab it, he hit her she hit him... then he stoped cried cuddling the 5yr old for some sympathy then started kicking into the 17yr old and he screamed grabbed a Childs wooden chair and went to throw it at her. I told him to put it down... and was trying to stop him the entire time. He has been angry like this just screaming.. and throwing things but never at one of his siblings...
Then he said that show was making me feel like I had to that screamed me and I wonder if there is something more going on with this kid than just Aspergers and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It could just be his lack of words or it could be something more. Think I have watched too much Oprah Winfrey
Anyway what do I do when he starts like this?
What do I do afterwards when he is calm?
How do I prevent this from continuing?
I read on here about parents wishing they had this support 15yrs ago.... and that is me Im here when my child is young and Im so scared Im never going to get this right. Please help. someday I think Im the wrong mum for this child that Im letting him down cause I dont know how to set things up so this doesnt grow into what it has with my older son, yrs and yrs of hell at school and home.
Thanks
