It's part of parenting!
Well it happens on occasion, I do all I can to make sure that my boys get the very best care from me. But every once in a while I lose control. I get a splitting headache because nothing I do seems to help Ashton. I do everything that I can to make him better or calm, but nothing helps! My head is aching my eyes hurt and then I lose my temper! I think it's normal to lose control over screaming kids sometimes. But my delima is what do I do when I lose control with an Autistic child? How do I calm myself fast enough that I don't take it out on him. I won't hit him out of anger or anything but I yell and scream sometimes! I can't stop myself at times. I find myself getting red and hot from anger because he just won't stop. What next? How do I handle this? Is it wrong to yell at him or get angry? I understand that some of his problem is just who he is but still I can't stop myself from getting mad somedays! I feel so horrible when I lash out at him like that! He is after all just a baby! Does it make me a bad parent to yell at my autistic son?
