[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708897, member: 18958"] Your son is very young. He is too young to have intent to harm. Many children spit and bite. They do this not necessarily to be obnoxious or to cause harm or to be aggressive but because they are over-stimulated. Your son is over-stimulated. He feels awful. He does not understand what is happening to him. He directs it outward, because it is overwhelming him internally and he does not know how to stop it or control it. He is telling you in every possible way he knows how it feels to be him. He is holding you responsible to stop it. That is why I think he is so mad. Because it does not stop. This does not mean of necessity or surely that he will act on this in any extreme way. This is what you are dancing so fast, to prevent. There is a very wonderful mother who is on this forum. She is a special education teacher. Her name is Feeling Sad. She has a son in his 30's who has Paranoid Schizophrenia which manifested in his early 20's. Of anybody here that I can think of she will understand your situation and know what to tell you. She has lived through this and it is her field of expertise. She has her onw thread or you can PM her. I know I think differently than do many here, but I believe that there is a chasm between spitting and hitting and expressing feelings and the sorts of extreme acts that would be dangerous, if acted upon. I know that you are taking measures to protect your son and others. I am not saying that there will never be a risk, but you are doing everything in your power to intervene. If he was already at the point where the kind of acting out that would be a danger to others, was a likely possibility, the physicians and psychiatrists and psychologists who have seen him and treat him would have hospitalized him already. Because they have a "duty to protect" both potential victims as well as somebody so ill that they would fueled by mental illness hurt somebody. That at least is the law in the USA. A professional must act to protect the community and cannot not address somebody who is a danger to others. That is my understanding, in any case. If you have this fear right now I would specifically ask the professionals who know your child. They will know. Not us. If your son could be right now a danger to others or to you. They have a responsibility to you and to your child--to take responsibility. Take care. [/QUOTE]
