[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 10628, member: 1550"] in my opinion this is not something that will get easier unless it is treated. If part of it is autism, then that can explain the odd, flat reaction to it, but I think more is going on than Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My son is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and would never hurt himself or act that strangely. I usually am not one to hospitalize so young, but I'd put him in the best hospital available for a total evaluation. Also, are there any psychiatric or neurological illnesses on either side of his family tree to point you in a direction? Genetics is a big clue as to what the big picture is, and in his case he may have co-morbid problems. I would act NOW. In the US, they probably would have put him in the hospital. As for the Ritalin, for WHAT? in my opinion, putting a violent kid on Ritalin is not smart. Did this out-of-control behavior start after the Ritalin did? Will they give him something like Risperdal in Australia? That is more for rages. I can't see how Ritalin could help him. You have my prayers. [/QUOTE]
