What are some ways we can handle my 4 year old grandson with ASD with these tantrums?

We had to remove all food with high fructose corn syrup. Almost immediately the anger reduced. We also experienced bad behavior with alergie medicine.

Yes my son is 4. He still throws himself on the floor. He throws his toys and tablets. He even gets to the point where he punches his toys. My therapist recomended that i make expression cards or give him a pillow to throw if he feels angry. The idea of throwing something can help release the anger he feels.

Thank you all so much for the advice will pass this information on to his parents so the adjustments can start.

Thank you ladies he does drink a lot of chocolate milk so I will have to see if we can switch somethings up and see if that helps. He’s tantrums are gouging in our face and every one doesn’t understand that he’s doing that because he’s upset about something.
