[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son with a similar diagnosis has also turned violent. Same age. He’s in therapy for anger management now, on top of everything else. This should be in the special needs forum, honestly.

Slapping an adult, in the face, is over the top and completely unacceptable. I hope it’s a wake up call. [/quote]
 
I agree. Besides the short term issue, you need to be looking at the bigger picture. If this is the behavior you are seeing at age12, you are likely to have a huge problem ahead of you. Get professional help and figure out how you are going to protect your younger child (who was also attacked) and the rest of you. Slapping the adult in control in the face is a huge statement, especially given that it was done a second time.

Fortunately at age 12, you’ve got a few years to get the help before your child hits adulthood. You may want to start looking at residential treatment centers including boot camp types of programs now because when you need it, you won’t have much time to research and find one you like. Also better to be proactive so that the legal system doesn’t step in. Good luck.

BTW, I’m a BTDT parent whose kid escalated. It can get really scary really fast from this point. [/quote]
