[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 754168, member: 23706"] Well....it could be. Just a thought. Autism affects everything about you. Autism can cause meltdowns and violence due to sensory overload, frustration and lack of social skills and intolerance to change.. But you must do what you do. I hope something kicks in. Perhaps he would do better in a special classroom with less kids and more one on one help. Hitting other kids for any reason is dangerous. But he may not be in control of himself. Autistic kids do have social deficits and many do not understand that authority figures are in charge. So they don't feel as if they need to obey them. And they don't respond to traditional child discipline methods. I have an autistic grandson. He seems charming too until he doesn't get his way. He doesn't seem to grasp that not everyone is equal in authority. And he will throw things at people too. He is very difficult. We have a long road and are willing to do what we must. It is not going to be easy. Having said that, your son does sound as if he may have other issues too. This is common. I recommend a neuropsychological evaluation. My grandson just had one. They are very intensive evaluations. They cover all areas. This is not a neurologist. It is a psychologist with extra training in the brain. Many blessings and good luck. [/QUOTE]
