Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Thanks for your reply Sue. I really appreciate it. I've been thinking of maybe keeping a " log book " of his tantrums and meltdowns so I can try and pinpoint triggers. At this point I'm willing to try anything. The baby is affected by Evan's rage too in that he gets real frightened and it's hard to console him too and I really need to do whatever I can to help Evan and the rest of us deal with this. Love, prayers and heart hugs, Debbie (GA), Mom to Evan (4.5 y/o with ToF, RBBB, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asthma); (now a whole year old and HH and NT?); and my 3 angel babies whom I will finally see when God says it's time! 9:1-3 ============================================================ Date: 2003/05/08 Thu PM 04:41:10 EDT To: <parenting_autism > Subject: Re: Help, please, before I pull all of my hair out..... ============================================================ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Keeping a log is a good idea. Just remember that it can be something from earlier that starts the buildup and something else could be the trigger. Good luck! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Thanks Sue. I hadn't really thought about that until you said it. I guess if I'm going to keep a log, I have to pay attention to things that happen immediately before the tantrum or meltdown and even a while before that. I never thought about the " build-up " as you mentioned. Thanks so much!!
