Hi and welcome,

 

I notice you mention your son is nearly 10 - for us from that age onwards has been the most difficult (my daughter is 16) - the realisation of being different - plus the transition/anticipation of moving from primary to comprehensive was massive and she didn't cope at all. Also her aggression and frustration increases with her anxieties (add hormones/puberty on top and it's a volcano).

 

Take care,

Jb

Hello

 

i got to the stage of pushing others away when i was 16, the only thing that helped at the time was being gluten and dairy free.

hello, welcome to the forum.

At the age of 10 i thought my son would end up in prison he was so agresive and out of control. But with time and patients and me being on the edge of a break down (not quite that bad really) things slowly improved. Im sure hormones and understanding he was different played a big part in how my son was feeling. I also introuced my son to books for children explaining how he was not the only one with ASD helped him, also a book explaining how his body was changing helped. My son still often chooses to be alone he likes it that way, but i sometimes gatecrash his room and we have a laugh in his space.
