[quote=Anonymous]Our ADHD/ASD DD, almost 10, has very similar behavior that ends ups escalating to aggression when it gets bad. Anxiety and intrusive thoughts/ocd are the root for her, and she is helped by a very low dose of abilify on top of ABA and OT for now. She gets stuck on the most innocuous (to us!) things and ends up in a hypervigilant state where she lashes out when we interrupt her or ask anything of her. As parents, the Unstuck and On Target online version was helpful in providing some insight and support we can use day-to-day. It's still a struggle though. I would press for a further evaluation for your DS to try to get to the root cause of the behavior. It could be as simple as tweaking his meds, but it's so hard to get into their heads sometimes!
