ASD tantrums

RickeyandDani

I don't know if it's coincidental that he was just diagonsed, or he's getting closer to 3 years old, but DS has gotten worse with the tantrums in the past few days. Tonight he threw such a bad one that he busted his lip open. I'm so frustrated. I don't know how to react. We are still getting signed up with ABA. So we haven't really learned any coping techniques yet. His patience with his little sister is not as good either. Just wondering if this is part of ASD or just an almost 3 year old.

I just posted about the same thing.  Hang in there, ABA will help a little with the frustration that can sometimes lead to tantrums.

Going through the same thing here, P does not have ASD but her stroke was in the frontal lobe, however her tantrums have been 10x worse the last 2 months or so and she will be 3 next month.  

It sucks!
