[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 510841, member: 8045"] Sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time! I fully agree with previous posts!!!! Pleas make sure about the medications.....our psychiatrist was increasing our sons medications....at the end he was unbearably irritated, aggitated....all over the show.....we decreased it....got much better! Also had to try few different ones...... Please see if you could get an Occupational Therapist (OT) assessment....your son could be sensory seeking....or even in some aspects sensorry avoiding...he might even be using the movement and banging into things to try and self regulate....the Occupational Therapist (OT) can make some suggestions, for example to get a hammock for him to rock in before more homework...my son sometimes even sit in his hammock while reading his homework or lie on his tummy for some deep pressure while doing writing activities.....also rolling him up in blankets with deep pressure or a warm bath to calm himself down before bedtime..... If you cant get Occupational Therapist (OT) assessment try and read up on sensory integration and maybe step back and see what you can do to try and keep his engine in the green and anticipate activities that might push him over the edge.....always try and balance activities that drives him with calming ones...even having a snack...for some kids icy stuff helps to calm them, others prefer crisps or bubblegum. Regarding the karate...my son did well and enjoyed it, but it pushed his engine into the red...we later diagnosed auditory prosessing problems, so it was very exausting for him to understand the verbal instructions! Kind regards...hang in there.....please try and get some professional support, not just for your son, but a nice Occupational Therapist (OT) or ST or some one who will give you guidlines to help understand your difficult child....this helped us alot!
