He is a great kid most of the time. Last week he had a total meltdown while I was bringing him home from school in my truck. He ripped the rear view mirror off, also the sun shade from the passenger side, threw it in neutral and started hitting me. I got home safely but damn. He is 175# and 5' 7" at 13years.

I'm outfitting it with a prison transport barrier. Now everyone stays safe.

I might invest in one myself. Got a 26 year old brother with severe autism mild retardation that gets violent. Shits scary.

Yeah. We covered his windows in lexan, ditto the tvs in the house, solid door on his bedroom with a lock. Many mods to help us be safe

I have a kid on spectrum hitting puberty. It's rare she gets violent but she can lash out. It's very tough. Hope you find the solutions.

This might be the best reason to drive a used police car.

@OP, I grew up with an autistic, schizophrenic, etcetera brother. My mom did what she needed to, and good on you for doing the same.

Is he currently in Counseling? Have you been to a psychologist?

Therapy and meds and everything I could think of beyond.

Then you're doing well. Just give it time, puberty is hard for people on the spectrum (of all severities)

Thanks. It has gotten better but the times he does meltdown are pretty traumatic.

I was going to reply "OP wouldn't have needed those things if he just hadn't vaccinated the damn kid." Good to see you're able to laugh.
