Many children do this! Your son is not the only one. Some children hold it together at school ( they don’t want to stand out ) but when they get home they feel safe and let it all out.

When he comes in let him have time on his own to calm down.. Give him snack and drink then let him have 30 minutes or so before you get him to join the family. Try not to talk to him straight away and keep brothers or sisters away.

Talk to school as they can do things to help him in the day like sensory breaks, social skill work, time to talk. He could be ‘bubbling during the day’ like a volcano before it erupts!

Also Find out what school use with him like pictures, reward systems and try to use the same things at home. It could be that he needs the same structure / guidelines.

Hope this helps

Teen aspi boy really tricky combo . But for every aggressive reaction there is a reason . Try music talk to him

My 8 year old daughter has ADHD and ASD. She's got low impulse control and will threaten to break things when she can't have her way. Usually, she will comply but it's hard to tell what's going on in school as I think the special ed teachers have even more kids that can create problems. She will sometimes not reply and will stim by humming or making noises.

Usually her teachers like her as she is one of the few girls in class has some charm or ability to con them. Biggest problem now is her obsession with grabbing baby strollers in public. We've gotten some negative reactions as most people don't know what's going on and there's been some close calls. We don't tell them she has autism as most don't care and just want her to stop. She'll sometimes come up things about "breaking the bus", "burn the school" or other stuff that may bother others but she never does those things. My big fear is as she gets older, some of this stuff could have us dealing with pretty angry people or facing the police.

I think some of it has to do with seeing some of the kids get violent in school because they cannot fully communicate or there's just more aggression from some of the kids. I'll never forget seeing adults wearing body and accompanying some ASD kids at the Marcus Inst. in Atlanta.

@A MyAutismTeam Member. I may be speculating. And I don’t pretend to understand what goes on in the mind of our dear affected children, but, for what it’s worth, here’s my spin on ASD. My son’s thinking is “wired” differently. Perhaps, at times, he feels frustrated, because he feels what we, as parents are going through. One of the most heartbreaking things I’ve had to face during all this is my son’s apparent unresponsive ness to my shoe of affection for him. Sometimes, I try and hug him, but he turns me away.That hurts me. But I continue loving him, anyway. Because I’m his dad, and nothing will ever change that. I encourage you to love your child even when everything seems impossible.Someday, the son will break through those dark clouds.
