our 9 year old son has autism,normally he copes well as we do, however over the past 6 weeks he has become so aggressive,anyone near him is at risk, we have asked for help, a multidsciplinary meeting is being arranged,we have been told it may take 4 to 8 weeks to arrange, our older daughter {10} has to lock herself in her room when he starts his behaviour, we are being scratched,punched and kicked at times, he hits himself quite severely as well, it is absolutely sole destroying to watch your son press a self destruct button,we love him dearly and hope that someone can help us through this, he is not on any medication at present, he injured someone recently, enough for them to end up in casualty, we are at our wits end
