[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 662695, member: 1550"] I agree, especially since he is neurologically atypical. Maybe he has a form of autism. I know you don't live in the U.S. If you did he may well have that diagnosis. Banging heads and self-harm happens in certain autistics when t hey are hurt and/or frustrated and it is not manipulation . It is their lowered ability to handle stress and he sure has lots of that going on. I don't think tough love is the way to go, both because of his young age a nd because he has a really solid reason to be so grief-stricken. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you all can come out of this able to go on. Sending good vibes, prayers, anything you believe in...good thoughts in your direction. If it were me, and I know wit's NOT me, but I'd get everyone into age appropriate grief counseling/ [/QUOTE]
