I wanted to share a little bit about last night's meltdown.
Manster was highly sensitive and easily frustrated for a good part of the day and it cumulated into this meltdown. We had his friend over, they seemed to have a good time. He was a bit hyper but otherwise in decent spirits. When we came back from dropping his friend home it was about 9. I threw him down his pj shorts and they (barely) hit husband (his stepdad) and manster insisted on having different ones. He wouldn't wear the ones that touched husband. Of course husband thinks it's just behavioral but I feel that there is a sensory/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) quality to this. husband is getting short tempered as manster's mood escalates to a full on meltdown. He insisted I clean off the laptop before he played his games because husband had been on it all day. All of a sudden I have this little boy, tears streaming down his face, crying that everyone was against him; I never take his side; he hates his life; wishes he was dead, should kill himself etc. He even started hitting his head. This is really scary because I'm really not sure what caused this. Except he did wake up coughing and not feeling good. Maybe a sinus infection which he gets about 2x a year due to his chronic allergies.
Does this all sound like it's part of AS? I'm wondering if the Tenex isn't working or that maybe I should consider a ms?
I see psychiatrist next week so I'll sure run it by her but wanted to get any thoughts you all may have.
