Yeah my docs help me and I am waiting for coinciding. My son is 2, he is currently been accessed for autism but that's not the issue, he wont stop hitting and attacking his sister and step brothe . He hits at school and he does not seem to understand no, it does not register to him that he is hurting others and that it is wrong, I do not know hoe to get him to stop, I tell him no and that it's bad but he will straight away do it again

This has been happening for 7 months now and I cant seem to deal with it any more

Also, have you heard of Scope's Navigate service? It's a free service that provides emotional support and advice to parents of disabled children. As part of the support you can get help with:Visit the Navigate webpage for more information on how to contact the friendly team.- organising your thoughts and feelings
- practical advice and suggestions

- taking positive actions and helping you with emotional wellbeing
Finally, a big squeeze to you. This must feel so challenging and just know it won't last forever and will get better. Our members are here whenever you need a vent.Online Community Co-ordinator
