    Hello @abbeycat1 and welcome to the community.

    Sorry to hear about the difficulties you're going through with your son, it sounds stressful.

    Has your GP or health specialist who is dealing with the diagnosis advised on any methods of coping in the meantime?

    I have moved your discussion to our parents category by the way :)

    Hi and welcome,

    My daughter has Autism and wasn't diagnosed until she was 17 but i always knew she had it, from a very early age.

    If he does have Autism then he may not even realise he's being rude to you because alot of this is part of ASD. Most of the time they don't even realise they have this "attitude" My daughter is 19 now and quite often she has a really bad atttitude towards me and when she does, i'll tell her, Although her reply is "what attitude" I don't know what you mean.

    I've found over the years that routine is the most important thing, this way they get to know what's happening and when. Does he have a routine?

    I don't think taking things away from him is the answer here because otherwise you'll only make the situation worse, although he must know that he can't always have everything he wants. It's a difficult situation to be in.

    Having a little understanding of what ASD is and the way people react is extremely helpful and will help you both quite a lot. I know he hasn't been diagnosed yet but doing som research will help you. I'll put a few links up so that you can at least have a read.

    You could also speak to his GP to ask for some advice or maybe they can refer you to someone who will be able to help you, although i know referrals will be extremely difficulty due to Covid. Any contact will very likely be through telephone calls.

    Hope this helps.
