Challenging behaviour in fragile x syndrome Mood
Wednesday, January 7, 2009 | A Sad story

 

 Feel a bit sad this morning and tearful, not too sure how much longer I can cope with my son.

 He has been getting extremely frustrated similar to an animal.  Going for me really trying to bite me, scratching, couple of more holes in the walls and being fifteen he is very strong. (much stronger than me im only little smiles Michelle)  I have no idea what the trigger could be either.  I dont feel that this behaviour warrants putting him on medication as the behaviour is only 20 percent of the time at the moment and the rest of the time he is  a very happy and loving young man.  Seems to be either frustrated or loving no inbetween. He is 15yrs and has fragilexsyndrome severe.  Being totally on my own doesnt help either where I have no one I can call on to maybe restrain him.  All I have been told to do is to call the police but really by the time they arrive he would have calmed down, so seems a bit pointless.  Still- have two days respite from him and maybe things will look brighter when he comes home.  Feel a bit run down and off for a good cry but sure I will pick myself back up again in no time-as I do-as I like a challenge, and his behaviour is damn challenging right now.
