Getting help for my son with hemiplegia

We have a son who is now 18 and has a hemiplegia. He has recently become more and more angry and aggressive and tends to shout and swear when he is angry. We understand his frustration but we can not
let this behaviour continue as he it is now effecting our neighbours. I think the key to the issue is that now he is 18 he feels he should be more independent and do exactly what he wants. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the support he/we need. We are struggling to control his outbursts and I’m worried that he will become violent. Thanks in advance.

I dont really have any advice other than already mentioned but you may get some help from other sections on the site
Maybe worth explaining the situation to your neighbours so they understand you are trying to get some help and they can be understanding

I've moved your post to our cerebral palsy section to help it get specific attention. You might also find it useful to browse other people's posts on the board such as, 'help needed for adult son with hemiplegia' which has advice about supporting adults with hemiplegia to socialise.
A social care referral, as @poppy123456, advised is a brilliant starting point and definitely worth pursuing if you haven't already. Please keep us updated with how you get on and good luck.
