Good afternoon i go through this and i was told that the child goes to the person they love and trust the most, but this was ok for awhile, so we believe in a no hands policy so i used redirection and a re-enforcement. amd its not completely over but its working, another thing i was taught was to ignore the behavior, i know i thought the same thing at first but it works, hope this little bit helped.

I agree with @A MyAutismTeam Member. Your son might be doing it for attention. Completely ignore the behavior (I know how hard that is). After a while, he will figure out that he's not going to get a reaction out of you & the behavior should improve. We do this with our son & it works.

I can understand how distressing this is for you, have you read
The Explosive Child” by Dr Ross Greene ? If we can begin to understand what the stressors are for these kids that lead to expressing frustration and anxiety in these ways Inthink we will go a fair way in being able to deal with it. I wish you every success.

Maybe he misses you. And don't know how to show it positively.. My son started acting like that when I went back to work and when I got pregnant with his sister and when I stopped working too have the baby he got better. He has did it since.

I'm the person my daughter shows her anger and frustration to most. I had patience with it for some time bit its been growing harder to tolerate. I going to try that tactic and just ignore the behavior for a few days and see what happens.
