I have some experience in that area as well, with an ausistic boy of abouyt the same age. He was very difficult for the family at that age. He was strong as an ox and used all his strength for all actions. He would run you right down if you were in his way, he would lash out at his siblings and he beat his own head bloody onthe walls whenever he could get away from others long enough to do so. It was very difficult for them. They stuck it out because they loved him. But, as a new parent of a beautiful and healthy baby, I am more and more amazed at what they were able to do for their son. It is hard enough when there are no other issues.

Thanks for adding this.

I hope that some folks are taking a different view of this story after the more recent comments.
