Autism Meltdown In Teenagers: Why Your Teenager Is Having A Meltdown And How To Remove Frustration

Описание: Imagine this: a 16 years old boy (the son of a friend of mine, he is NON VERBAL) at the time he was in his classroom, and his aggression was getting worse and worse...

His FRUSTRATION and his VIOLENT OUTBURST was at its peak.

The mom described it as if he was possessed... she said it was like someone came in and took over his body, he was just RAGING, throwing desks over.

It got to the point where the school district said:

"Listen, YOUR CHILD CAN'T COME TO SCHOOL ANYMORE.
