[QUOTE="ML, post: 435924"] those "you hate me's" basically mean "I hate me" because they don't like feeling and behaving that way and any more than we do. If your 7 year old is the one on your profile that says he's 4 with aspergers, I feel your pain. But it does get better. Don't give up looking for ways to meet him where he's at. There are reasons for the screaming, whether's it's sensory or anxiety based, it's real. Calming techniques include skin brusing and of course lots of routine. When mine gets to working himself up I always offer him "a cup of tea" which means "I see you're at your breaking point now and I'm with you". I'm sure the camomile in the tea helps to :) Hang in there. PS it cracks me up the way our aspies use language. Most kids that age would say the "you hate me's".. but the "you don't respect me" .. it's priceless. [/QUOTE]
