My Son
First of all a little back story- My son has autism spectrum disorder and has developed PTSD. Has explosive moods when he gets really bad. His bad was nothing like last night. The way he was talking last night was like he was one of these conspiracy people. Everyone was against him especially the teachers,and principals. He became violent,threatening,out of control,and I almost could not control him. I have to commit him at least in a short term inpatient facilty there is no way around it. There is a place that will take him right now the problem it is to far away for me to get him there. I am working on a medical transport for him,but I am not sure how much it will be. Iam trying to find a place closer hopefully I will find something sooner. I missed work today because I was afraid he would either hurt himself,his lil sister,or his grandma or someone else. I love him but he is becoming more unstable to himself and his family. I wish I can get him to the facility so he can get help. For now I have to keep calling people and see how I can either get him to that place,or a a place near us problem hear where I live they mostly have substance abuse places not places for teens with mental disorders especially as severe as his mental unstability.

It sounds like you are having a bad time with your son., could you call your doctor and explain what's going on, I don't know where you live but do you have a social worker that could help or maybe a hospital someone needs to help just tell them he is a danger to him self and others around him,
Sorry I can't be more help.
No that is good advice I didn't think about a social worker maybe I can get either help from them or they can recommend someone that can help him That is helpful I appreciate that.
I second littlechef. Social worker/therapist is a good idea. Family doctor should be able to help as well. If it's really dangerous, don't just let him hurt you or other family members. You can always call 911 if it gets bad. They are trained to assess and help in situations that may be out of your control.
Thank you so much I appreciate that I am going to work on the things you guys mentioned and let's hope for the best. take care guys
