Please I need some help, my 12 yr old son took a knife from the kitchen and was standing looking at me, when I went close to him to take it away he said I'm sorry. What happened before all this was that he was upset because every Sunday we let him pick a place to go to, park, restaurant, mall, etc and he also gets to eat fries which is his favorite, we'll the night before I checked his history on his tablet and found cartoons that he knows he can't watch became these cartoons show very inappropriate behaviors like beating people up and cursing, I have blocked the page so many times but somehow he manages to find it, so I took his phone and table away, that was the beginning of everything the next morning which is Sunday he kept asking for his tablet I said you can't use it yet, so he then started screaming, yelling and saying things like I want you to die mom, I'm leaving the house and never coming back and proceeded to get dressed and try to go out, I stopped him and he then started screaming more, I told him that we were not going out that Sunday because of his behavior and I say on the couch that's when I heard him in the kitchen getting something and I told him to come to the living room, that's when I saw he had the knife in his hands, he said he was sorry and he didn't want to go to jail, I told him what he did was very bad, he proceeded to scream and cry. He has a psychiatrist he sees once a month, he's on Sertraline 25mg 1x a day. I'm so devastated don't know what to do. I'm also scared don't know if he would attempt to hurt me, normally he's always saying he loves me and wants hugs from me. Don't know what to do please give me some advice. Normally he's loving kid. Lately he hass been defiant, he curses and just want to do what he wants, but I never seen him do this before, I'm so devastated, don't know what to think, say or do. 29:48 Helpful Tips for Unwanted Dietitian Visits I am going to a dietitian tomorrow and me and dietitians don't mix. I can't stand when people try to change my eating habits. I'm going for medically controlled weight loss, and it's needed by my whole medical team, but I am afraid of lashing out or if I get told I can't eat my favorite things anymore I might have negative behavior. I know they are doing it for my own good, but I don't like being controlled. I don't wait to embarrass my mom and stepdad. please help me. 38:42 How do you feel about older children watching younger programs? We're big believers that we must try to keep our child moving forward. As autistics tend to be immature as they grow up. 43:33 Do you have any advice on the Nemechek protocol? 45:24 What to do When the School Takes Away Your Child's Biggest Reinforcer I'm working on this with the school right now, Quinton likes to use his hand drawings as reinforcements. He had one bad day, where he lost one of them, and he went a little extreme. That day they said no more pictures without giving him an alternate type of random reinforcement, they tried to say absolutely no pictures, it was a punishment, everyone in his circle disagreed with With a School said they wanted to do. I've been taking a lot of data; this happened a week ago last Friday. 46:47 I need tips on how to address a BCBA who is overworked. I have the most amazing RBT but the BCBA isn't giving enough attention to my sons programming. She is assigning goals but not being specific, so it leaves the RBT to interpret how the goal should be run instead of her modeling. During supervision little to no feedback is given even when we are looking at her for direction. Help!

Recorded Live September 27, 2022 @10am PT 4:26 My son with ASD & ADHD is almost 13, and in the last few weeks his behavior has escalated significantly. We have an urgent appointment with his psychiatrist on Tuesday but I wanted to hear from other parents and experts. He has abruptly begun exploding violently with siblings over such offenses as "she was whining!" (he spit in 5 y/o sisters food when my back was turned and justified it because she was whining.) I hear a thud and 'ow' from 3 year old in the other room. "He was going too slow on the stairs!" (He hit him into the wall.) I don't know what to do. I am terrified that he will seriously injure a siblings. All I can think of is the next time this happens we go to the hospital because I don't know what else to do. please help me 18:48 We are dealing with aggression. If my son is told "no" or can not do what he wants when he wants he tells us "you don't love me anymore? I"m going to leave and not come back." How do we curb this? Not to mention he does throw things and hits but not all the time. 31:14 Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit PSA Sponsored by Shapiro Legal Group 33:10 Is autism and ADHD Related? 36:29 Can sensory issues can increase with age? 37:59 Is there a good trick to start pronouncing words more distinctly? Pointing and repeating the same words over again and mispronouncing words. 41:46 Do you think DRA is an appropriate intervention for a teen adjusting or maybe itching by private parts in public? Total time engaging in that behavior might be about 4 seconds long, 2 or 3 times a day. 47:09 ASD & Device Addiction 53:20 My non-verbal almost 3 year old son is still breastfeeding periodically through the day and night and is still sleeping in our bed. He's also a terrible eater and never tells me when he's hungry other than my assumption when he pushes me towards a chair and tries lifting my shirt. I don't really know where to begin to wean him because I don't know what he understands and I know he uses it for comfort. He wakes up several times a night to nurse and switch sides which means I'm awake too and getting angry that I'm not getting sleep. What do I do? Shannon Penrod's book is out now!
