[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and I'm still reading.  These are definitely tantrums from frustration at being told no or some perceived injustice.  We've seen the occasional sensory meltdown, but those never involve aggression and those are about flight from the situation.

I hate to medicate on weekends because not only is he underweight but there's also an anxiety piece and although I did not post that other thread on anxiety it describes our situation.  I had even been thinking we would take much of August off to see if there was any improvement.  The other reason why I have been resistant is because so much of the day is fine.  If I were to draw a graph it would be mostly plateaus punctuated by three or four spikes.   We have tried other meds including a mood stabilizer which was disastrous.[/quote]

If you don’t take med breaks he’ll never learn to self regulate without the mess (which might not work forever). Best to learn those skills while young. It’s hard, but worth the effort for a better future.[/quote]
