[quote=Anonymous]My 8-year old son is diagnosed ASD and ADHD.  He is not on any medication.  He attends public school and by all accounts is perfectly behaved at school.  His teachers really do seem to genuinely like him.  But when he gets home from school, and on the weekends, it is a different story.  If something triggers him, like Minecraft, or his older sister disagreeing with him about something, he can go into rages that can be scary at times.  Sometimes he will apologize later, but not always.  He also has a tendency to gaslight and say he didn’t do something when everyone saw him do it.  Sometimes he will admit to it, but sometimes he will lie about it.  In those moments, he is so forceful that I think he may actually believe what he is saying.

Anyway, we’re desperate to get this under control now so that he can become a functional adult, but I don’t know the best way to go about it.  If you have lived through this, what worked for you?  What was the best way to cope with the ragestorms in the moment?  Did you find a medication that worked?  Would appreciate any help.  Thanks![/quote]
