[QUOTE="buddy, post: 465628, member: 12886"] I understand what seriously is saying. I would say my difficult child has different levels of "rage"...kind of like defcon 1,2,3...you get the idea. I have been through the kind you described and it is awful. Then like this morning where I was spit on, kicked, hit, had to restrain him and wait a half hour for the medications to kick in. Other days in the past it has been hours and hours or on and off all day. I am so wiped out by the end and so is he. He just can't talk during those times. No way and just when I think he is gonna calm, I think maybe now I can release him, bam, a kick or more screamming etc. when he was younger I could get him wrapped like a "hotdog" and he liked that. One time during a bad medication. reaction, he was only 4 or 5 and it took 4 adults in a private autism therapy setting to hold him and keep him from hurting himself or anyone else. It was just the worst thing I have ever seen in him...he was only 30 lbs or so. That said, I know a kid who bit part of his baby siblings ear off during a rage. I am thinking your son's rage is what I would like to train my son to get to. But in your son's case, he is obviousy miserable at a time like that and I like the question of whether it is worth that (maybe his body will even out as he gets used to it?). One of my kiddos medications does make him much more crabby. But the alternative is his jumping out a window. So not much of a choice. I feel so grateful that he has some medications that help at all because there are certainly kids who have nothing that works for them. [/QUOTE]
