[QUOTE="Snowenne, post: 433241, member: 12088"] My son recieved the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) high functioning and ADHD diagnosis. He is 8 and can go from 1 to 1000000 in a second. Last night he was on the computer playing computer games. Like many others this is where a meltdown can occur. I asked him to get off as it was time for bed. He said 'no' and kept playing. So I gave it about 30 seconds and told him again. He then told me he had things to do on the game. I told him it was time to get off, the game will be there tomorrow. Well it came into a screaming/destroying battle. He was screaming not words just screaming really loud, on his way up to his room he made sure to knock over/throw whatever he walked by. He then stomped up the stairs, slammed his door and then began throwing and destroying his room. So I think in some cases the anger is very common unfortunatly. We are trying to get X. medicated because every little thing with him is a battle and i'm getting so exhausted doing it. I see he is on abilify. Maybe try to change the medications. I heard some not so great things with abilify. My son so far is only on adderall for his adhd. But hopefully soon will either be on risperidal or zoloft for the anger. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
