Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi all! I am new to your group. I have a 10 year old son with Aspergers, OCD, Anxiety, sensory issues and soon to be determined possible Bipolar or ADHD. He is a great kid with a huge heart. He is in 4th grade and does fairly well at school with the exception of writing assignments and anything where he needs to give an opinion or express a feeling. Anyone have the same struggles with that? He also has a VERY hard time with his anger and frustration. His current method of coping with it is hitting. Usually himself, sometimes objects. We have tried many many many many coping skills with him, but his immediate reaction is the hitting. Any suggestions?? He also gets into these really low depressed times when he sobs and says how terrible his life is, etc. So heartbreaking to see him go through it! He see's a CBT weekly and social worker weekly at school with a small group. Another social skills class will start in a few weeks outside of school also. Busy, busy, busy! We have many conversations (fights) with the school to try to get the services we know he needs. It's like pulling teeth! So frustrating.
