[QUOTE="Christy, post: 173580, member: 225"] Thanks everyone. I can always count of coming here for new ideas. Unfortunately, there is often little to indicate he is getting upset. It is an immediate reaction most of the time or at least unexpected, an overreaction. Sara, Thanks for posting the wikepdia link. I read over it and remembered I have a workbook on anger that has a section on this. I will look it over and work on some of the exercises with difficult child. Adrianne, I like the idea you of making a plan while he is calm. This is something we will do and I will remind him of the plan when we go places. Shari, I will definitely adopt the three part brain discussion. difficult child really gets into talking about the brain and how it reacts. I think this will provide him a concrete explaination of what is going on when he feel this fight or flight sensation. Linda, I think deadbolt locks are in our future. I will program mobile crisis in our phone as well (although from my experience, our crisis team is not very fast acting). I also need to get better at having difficult child practice self-calming techniques. He knows them from therapy and his IBS worker practices them with him but he is still unwilling to use them when he is upset. If we practice them more perhaps it will be more second nature. I hope. Yikes jal! Your son actually jumped the fence. Thank goodness he was okay. I will have to take not to see if there is a particular trigger that produces the running response in my difficult child. I know some of these instances have to do with him feeling that others are treating him unkindly... His feelings were hurt because the neighbor and I were talking and not paying attention to him, I wouldn't buy him a toy from a gift shop, his TKD instructor was making him do something too difficult, IBS worker wouldn't let him have a snack... Susie, he has Zypraxia as a PRN and I carry it with me but I have never been able to be proactive enough with it. It may be helpful if I can get better at predicting what may set him off. Thanks Sharon. I appreciate the support. Thanks again everyone for the help! Christy [/QUOTE]
