[QUOTE="keista, post: 526037, member: 11965"] ((((HUGS)))) Have some more wine :toast: I can totally relate to the "shut up" syndrome. When son is irritated, he can't even handle anyone speaking in a normal tone about normal things. When his nerves are frayed, normal talk becomes like nails on a chalkboard. When it's really bad or lasting for too long, I send him to his room. Otherwise his sisters and I do our best to be quiet until he calms down. Knowing it's more of a sensory thing, makes it easier to work around and reduces the obnoxiousness of the behavior/comment. Yeah, sounds like he's stuck big time on those war games. I had let son play them with the caveat that if he started using that language or started violently posturing I would take them away. Even the ones he's paid for. Unfortunately, that doesn't help you any, does it? Have you tried redirecting him to a different activity? Have him write a story about those video games (it's called fan fiction) of maybe design his own video game. Doesn't have to do the software part, but write the story of what happens in the game. I know it doesn't necessarily get him away from the violence, but it taps a different part of the thinking brain. When's the last time you heard of a study saying that kids are more aggressive from [B]reading[/B] violent books? It may reduce the angst from separating from his games. [/QUOTE]
