A parent asks our group: I havent written in awhile. We are struggling in behavior and most of it is due to my husband in and out of the hospital lately. It got so bad that he had as full blown meltdown and almost hurt me in the process that it scared to leave him by himself. He will be four on Thursday. He is so strong and during a meltdown he is twice as strong. He has FAS and SPD. FAS has similar traits as Autism in some areas. Just by looking at him you cant tell. Our developmental pediatrician is hard to get by phone so I had to use their portal to get help. I got quick action this timed. I told her this during our last appointment and nothing. I talked to his teacher and she told me to document every time he melts down or tries to hurt me or himself. Hard to do when you have so much going on to remember to note it in my calendar. Our developmental pediatrician said to call numbers they gave us to find play therapy to help with his aggression that is directed toward himself and me. They are no longer listed in the phone book, not taking medicaid, not taking new patients, or dont do play therapy. Why am I having to call? Cant they make a referral? He has turned to masked me angry in the car especially when he doesnt want to stop to get me something to eat at a drive up or drive in. As long as we get his pizza then he is fine. He yells, sings loud, kicks the seat, screams, and whatever else he can think of to make me mad. I cant remember to get everything we need when he is doing this. Being the only one with him twenty four seven is rough enough. Only down time is when he goes to school and now when he goes to his wasting group at the Speech clinic. Plus going back and forth to the hospital is bad enough. I know he is feeling our stress and I try to keep everything as normal as possible. It is wearing me out.
