  1. Thanks for the replies, I'll try the GP again.
  2. He is going off at the slightest thing at the moment. where before he only got aggressive and confrontational when he didn't want to do something or when he wanted to do something and couldn't. It seems that he is looking for excuses to kick off now. We only had an appointment about a week and a half ago, where his behaviour was such i didn't think it could get much worse, this is when risperodone was suggested. they said to go away and think about it and it could be prescribed if thats what we wanted at the next appointment. Even in the last week his behaviour has got worse, its gone from violent outburst a few times a week to everyday for the last 4 days. A few months ago he broke his hand punching the wall, but his anger is now being aimed at us. we have had to get him off his older brother several times, with him saying next time i'm going to get a piece of wood and put you in hospital. (and the scariest part is i think he means it) Alot of what he does is verbal , hurling abuse about 2" from your face but the look on his face says he absolutely hates you, and i'm not sure how far he would go. I have contacted everyone i can possibly think of to help, but no-one seems to be taking it seriously. i honestly don't know what to do. .
  3. I did that this morning, and they said they were that busy I'd have to wait for the next appointment which isn't going to be until the end of april. They then went on to tell me that I should have been given that appointment at the last visit and that they would have to go and sort that out, so i don't even know if thats going to be for when they first said.(april)
  4. Hi Does anyone know of a private psychiatrist in the Lincolnshire area? My 15 yr old has already been diagnosed with aspergers and it has been suggested that at his next appointment he should go on risperidone. Unfortunately the next appointment isn't for another 3 months and his aggressive behaviour has got unmanagable, we aren't going to last another 3 months. I thought I might be able to get to see someone privately a bit quicker, we really need to do something now!
  5. Have just phoned asking for an ealier appointment. I was told that wouldn't be possible. They then also informed me that the 3 month appointment should have already been sent to me and that they would have to sort that out. So i'm not even sure if I'm going to get an appointment when then said i would.
  6. Hi I went back to the GP and explained how bad the situation was, and got a referral to an out of area pediatrician. (this was because camhs had refused again). We had the appointment last week and he has suggested respiridon. He has told us to think about it and to come back in 3 months. I came away from the appointment with a little bit of hope. I didn't think the situation could get much worse, but over the last week its been horrendous. I don't think I can manage another 3 months of this. Its not only when he doesn't want to do something or when he does, (which seemed to be the reason in the past) Its almost as if he is looking for any excuse to kick off at every opportunity he can. His behaviour has changed so much recently I'm not sure if this is all down to the Asperger's of something else.
  7. Hi When we were in contact with Camhs they didn't that he would respond to anything they had to offer. we were told that there were no medications available. They did say that they might set up a behavior classes and would contact us, but instead we recieved a letter saying they did not need to see him anymore. The emotional and behavioral outreach worker did go to the school to visit him, but because he was rude and abusive decided it wasn't working. We also had the autism outreach worker come to the school to give advice to the teachers and to speak with him. This was only once every few months and for some reason this stopped happening, not sure why. I know the school have tried to get her to come back out several times and she hasn't attended the last couple of reviews. Not sure what went wrong there. I could really do with him seeing someone!!
  8. Thankyou all so very much for the advice. I've phoned the doctors and made an appointment, I think writing a letter will be a good idea as you always seem to forget bits when your talking to the doctor, and think oh god i wish I'd told him that. Fingers crossed, that might get him seen by someone and possibly medication. It helps hearing that I'm not the only one going through it. Just had to deal with a big paddy from him this afternoon. I think the school will be supportive, because they are complaining of exactly the same problems, although you never can be 100% sure with the schools. They do seem to chop and change their opinions to suit. Anyway, thanks for the advice
  9. That was one of the 1st things i considered. Unfortunately when i contacted camhs I was told that although i could ask the doctor to be referred again, it would be very unlikely he would be taken back on as he allready has a diagnosis and the traetment of ASD is not their responsibility I have also seen the doctor and explained the situation. He told me that the practice manager would have a look into it and get back to me. That was 2 months ago!!
  10. Hi There! I am in desperate need of some advice I have 5 children, boy 18, girl 16, boy 15 diagnosed with aspergers, girl 13 and girl 9. The 3rd youngest was diagnosed with apergers a few years ago. He has had a statement for special needs from when he started school for behaviour problems and received 1:1 at school. I got the diagnosis mainly because I needed help at home. I was in total shock when after 2 years of visits to the psychologist (camhs) to get the diagnosis, I was basically told "this is what he's got and this is how he will act, but you seem to be managing better than most, off you go." I was sure they would offer some kind of help, not sure what but perhaps behaviour therapy, anger management, something! I have managed, JUST! until recently. Over the last 6 months his behaviour has become increasingly worse, it feels like the nice bits are getting fewer and further between. He has become alot more agrressive and confrontational towards everyone, they have had to increase his 1:1 at school to full time so that someone is always available to take him out the way. He has shoved and pushed me and hurls abuse about 2cm away from your face. it seems that his attitude is now I'm nearly 16 i can do what i want, when i want and I'm as big as you, so you can't stop me. He reacts to anything thats not exactly what he wants to do, he uses any oppurtunity to do stuff he knows he shouldn't. (i mean even the couple of minutes it takes in the bathroom, he'll be doing something) Most of the aggression was aimed at me so for the last few weeks i've been making him go to school when my husband leaves for work beacause i was getting abuse the minute his dad went out the door. I just couldn't deal with it every morning and had the younger ones to get ready aswell. This worked for a couple of weeks but now he has started behaving the same towards my husband . We just don't know what to do. He leaves school in June, we are finding it impossible to get him into a specialist college, because although he has full time 1:1 he is in a mainstream school. They are talking about him going to the normal college, but how can they even imagine this will be ok. How can he need full time support 1 day then none the next, We are at breaking point , he is becomming increasing unmanagable and we can't see any way forward. The only reason we are coping at the moment is because of the break we get whilst he is at school. I don't know how i am going to manage in June, and if his behaviour carries on as it is I don't think i'll last even that long. Help!!!! Please Has anyone got any ideas???
