Suggest Treatment For Behavioral Changes In A 13 Year Old Boy
my son is 13 years old and has aspergers. he has always been sweet and obedient. we switched schools this year and it has been awful. he threatens to hit me, tells me to shut up , pees on the carpet in his room and in the playroom. He always promises not to do it again but does and they are big stains. he just threatened to slap me. What do I do. I know some of this is puberty but why the urinating?
Your son might have some psychiatric issue like adjustment problem in new school or it may be opposition defiant disorder in which child became rebellious to parents. But detail history and mental status examination is required for proper diagnosis. Is there any symptoms like high talk, excess talkativeness, etc.. Nee to evaluate in detail so consult psychiatrist as early as possible. Thank you
