[QUOTE="buddy, post: 483309, member: 12886"] They have gone in waves... he has times when they are frequent and then nothing for months and months. We still have less than he has had in the past. But, he is bigger and stronger and has better aim. THAT is the problem. So, I did tell him, since I had already threatened to call 911 before and had already increased his anxiety... I had to discuss that with him at one point. I told him that because of the medication and safety issues, the team at the hospital and the police say I have to have a safety plan. I had to tell the police that we have some issues and so if I call I might need help with you until you can calm down. They said I must have the locks or you will not be safe sometimes. He didn't love that, but was not upset because I didn't say he was going to be arrested and taken away etc. So today I did tell him, if he can't settle down then I have to put our safety plan into action. I think that did cue him to start doing his relaxation stuff. I heard him taking deep breaths (hard to tell if he is huffing and puffing mad or trying to relax at times) But even though he heard people his yell actually was asking if that was our neighbor and his dog (my former student who is deaf and has a service dog...his voice is distinctive). He didn't escalate again. He asked for a quiet go no where day. But maybe we need to get out. Well, as icky as it is when it happens..... in the big picture, this was nothing. Hope he is all done.
