[QUOTE="keista, post: 474629, member: 11965"] Does he have an IEP at school? Has the school done any evaluations? If Autism is suspected they can do appropriate evaluations for that. It won't give him a diagnosis, but gives you, the school and any doctors a starting point. Also the school can do a slew of other evaluations including for sensory issues which can be huge triggers. It's difficult to figure out what to do if you have little or no clue what is really triggering your child. Have you investigated other possible avenues for evaluations? March is a long time to wait. If you're not already doing it, keep a daily log of behavior. What happens, what time it happens, and what was going on for up to an hour before hand. I did this and it took me a while to realize that [B]most[/B] of DD1's outburst episodes were do to her sensitivity to noise. When she was younger, she would explode when stuck in the middle of a noisy environment - easy and obvious. I thought she was adapting because she seemed to taper off of that, but her outbursts seemed to become more random. Or so I thought. Turns out they all happen AFTER she's been exposed to a noisy environment (and managed to keep it together) or anticipating such an environment. IOW she learned to cope "in the moment" but it uses up so much of her energy that when she finally has the freedom to fall apart, she does. [/QUOTE]
