@tekintolmacx: I’m not sure how much autism plays a role here, but in this situation I was trying to teach him boundaries by saying “no.” We can see similar behaviors in typical children as well, although usually not this intensely. When he gets everything he wants, there doesn’t seem to be a problem, but children can become used to always getting their way, which may lead to bigger difficulties later in life. That’s why he reacts like this when he can’t have something he wants. I’m also trying to teach him to stop and accept it when he’s told “no.” Unfortunately, this process can be painful, upsetting, and exhausting at times. But when he finally succeeds and makes progress, we’ll all be happy and proud of how far he has come. ❤️ #autism #autismawareness #autismkids #autismchild #fyp

berniemccorriston :

Autism is no excuse for bad behaviour!

Faz :

Patience is very hard. But it will be rewarding for you and your young man.

Shanelle Angel 🦋 :

He is craving sugar, I honestly think it is related to his gut health. My son is 4 and he was like that until I changed his diet, no sugar not sweets, no transformed processed food and no dairy products and milk. He is more focus and makes more conversation now.

Megan Popescu - Family Tech :

My son was the same and I'm so thankful I never put his most vulnerable moments on tiktok for everyone to see, he deserves his privacy and so does your son.

Kimberley Lewis :

you handled that so well dad well done

Anna-M :

Perfectly handled and you stuck to your decision. 👏👏👏

Aniya aniya :

Well done dad you are so patient with him you are great dad

sar :

My 8 year old son who is non verbal aswell reacts this intensely to being told no aswell but boundaries need to be established as hard as it is. welldone to you.

Jam pot :

your son is showing good levels of understanding and is learning to respect boundaries. ..so I think the way you handle his behavior is working..He is regulating himself quite well after the initial outburst well done.

aleksandra :

You’re doing great job

darthhaider :

You're absolutely right trying to establish these boundaries when he's still little . I'm a ASN teacher and it's so clear the parents who have and haven't , it's so much harder to go through this later on when they're bigger stronger and more destructive.

Karina ✨ :

It’s so hard but well done 👏 my son is 5 & has autism too. He now doesn’t react once I say no it was hard but you will get there eventually I promise 🫶 he’s beautiful btw

One Sen mum to another parent your smashing it dad 🙌🏼👏

🇮🇪Lorna | Hosting in Ireland :

Great dad 👏I’ve been a special needs assistant for 20 years , you are teaching your son life skills 👏

Ayan85 :

you can make ice cream using coconut milk and favourite fruits. you can get the ice cream moulds amazon. Blueberries 🫐 are antioxidants and coconut milk is not dairy so he will be good for him and add organic raw honey

As an autistic person, I used to ask for a lot of ice cream as a kid because it refreshed me. Maybe offer him something that can refresh him?

🃏 JOKER :

I can do this at home without any issues, but when we’re out in public, I sometimes choose the easier option. The stairs, the eye-rolls, and the judgment from others can wear me down, and I’ll admit that there are times when I give in to my child’s demands.

Victoria92 :

This is so wrong to post this

Cash 💰 :

Mum of an autistic child much the same so only love and good intentions with this advice. Don’t say just no. Say later or give a time when he can have the ice cream “not right now but after dinner”. Or give him an alternative like “a banana instead or anything he can have”. If he’s still melting down. Just letting him know you understand his frustrations and understand what he’s asking but you’ve said not right now.

Lin✨♥️ :

Well done dad. It’s not easy this life 😭

Kitty :

Instead of directly refusing, acknowledge the child's request and offer an alternative. For example: “I know you would like ice cream. We can have it another time, but today let's enjoy some fruit instead.” This approach can help reduce resistance and support positive redirection.
