So my son doesn't have a firm diagnoses yet, but we believe he is on the spectrum. He has shown signs almost from 6 months on. It's been a work in progress to get him seen anywhere because of insurance, his age, money, etc. Today, as I'm typing this right now, he's having a full blown rage fit. I work at the daycare he attends so I can hear in my room when he's screaming at his teachers. I don't know how else to say it, but he can be so mean and venomous.
He screams at me for the smallest things. Not playing the right music, the tv going to a commercial, the sun. I tried to calmly explain somethings to him, that sometimes they are out of our control but in his mind, it doesn't matter. I do a lot to accommodate him, but often I'm trying to get him to go with the flow (within reason).
I can't take the screaming anymore. What are some different coping mechanisms I can help him with? We do fidgets and a weighted blanket. We tried breathing. I want to help his teacher and help myself from going crazy.
