Hi Julie, Thank you so much can I private message you please
Of course
My son had a really hard time. But was external aggression so throwing things hitting people, kicking people. Hes come a long way in the last few months and has calmed loads but we had a year of pure constant aggression. He was hitting out at least 10 times a day.
@Alison I’m so glad he’s much better now must be a huge relief for you all, I hope Izzy stops as it’s worrying
Ye it's not pleasant but took over a year for him to settle just took a lot of being as calm as possible when he got upset and explaining too him the best way to deal with his emotions, taking deep breaths and such
