Conor had terrible tantrums for years and then went three years without them. Then they started up again in force, and are very very very difficult to deal with. Hence the 5 months inpatient stay in the hospital. ;-/<br /><br />Getting some time to yourself is definitely a must. I hope you're able to get some respite care.<br /><br />Do you do any biomed? Several individuals on the spectrum have suggested to me to try the gluten free/casein free diet as well. We used to do this, but it would be too hard now that he's so big and much more independent. <br /><br />Yeah, I love my kid like nobody's business, but he's one tough cookie.

The tantrums & the screaming fits and the all out rages every, single day just wipe me out. Et tu, Brute? <br /><br />I've found that getting in my car alone & driving a half mile down the road screaming at the top of my lungs usually helps. I usually come home hoarse & tear stained, but I can highly recommend it when you just need to get somewhere & let your own rage out.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039568832021064818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625878.post-66975282646219742872012-09-15T17:51:32.537-04:002012-09-15T17:51:32.537-04:00Mindy, I agree.
