He has started hitting me for a months When he is angry, he will hitting my face. I told him that he can touch my face gently. I do not use these word “ no hitting” .

2008-08-12Caroline10101010NoThank you for your prompt response. The idea of perhaps only allowing him to wear the dress and wig at certain times is a good one as is the idea of him wearing a long shirt as a compromise. Thank you once again Caroline

I can't answer 'biomed' questions. I can answer questions about behavior, what it's like to be autistic, specific subtypes (especially PDA) and educational methods

I have PDA, a form of autism. I have also read a lot about autism, from the internet, books and medical journals. I've also worked with autistic kids as a volunteer.

Just high school.
