Just a nother thing for me to takenote and let the pead in on at out meeting in Feb *sigh*
Ive taken mental notes on M.....his 'screaming' his physical outbursts, hitting, scratching, kicking.....its on morning's when he doesnt do a poo first.
I swear today has been a day from hell. Ive done nothing more then try to stop someone from kicking his big brother and from hitting his sister. When I interferre we have the big throw down on the ground, head butt and scream high pitch. The corner was looking very very good for me to rock back and forth in. There were tear's, things thrown and oh no's said.....and that was just me.
I took the amigo's for a drive...bought lunch cause it was easier then dealing with going home and doing it. Got home and BANG he did it..one from blerg hell...and the attitude changed....calm M came back.
I would like ot know if other mum's go through this with their spectrum kids??? Ive never had these problems with W so its all new
Maz I know Im not a spectrum mum but DS is often in a cranky mood when he hasnt done a poop for a while. He lashes out at others over minor things and I cop most of his aggression (thank god cz I cant imagine what it would be like if his sisters coped it half as much as I do). He hates being touched (I assume he has tummy pain assosciated) and if the DDs touch him (which they do often, they love him to death) he smacks them. I cop the yelling and screaming and crying so I take him aside and try to calmly talk to him (which is hard as his new trick is to point his finger in my face and yell at me, just sounds but oh baby tone is everything and if that could kill Id be gone). Having said all that my DS gets constipated quite easily and Ive made changes in his diet and no luck yet.
Maz, I'm amazed at this, as I've just been working with a spectrum Mum who's noticed the exact same thing. Rather, it took us a while to put it together. On one hand, she told me that his behaviour has been deteriorating awfully lately and he's been very violent, throwing massive kicking tantrums and being aggressive toward his siblings. Then 10 mins later she tells me that he's refusing to poo on the toilet and therefore going 3-6 days between poos (until they finally crack and give him a nappy to go in). I asked her if she thought the two issues were related and she said.... 'ummmm... wow. YES.'
Is there anything you can give him to get the poo through earlier in the day? I know with my little one, I give her a big cup of milk in the morning and she's pretty much guaranteed to poo 10 mins later. Not sure if that works with other kids / an older child though??? Otherwise, no clues, but I'd be really interested to know what others think.
bowel movements and AGRESSION!!!
