Thank you all for your replies, we are looking into all of the great suggestions you have made.
We havent figured out quite how to put a diet in place, as he is very fond of most wheat based foods, but we are using pictures, and a much calmer approach, and it has been very successful so far.


: Dear Goldie.For us diet has been important ...a variety of things but our son is much more prone to temper and upsets if he has gluten[wheat/flour/bread etc] or chocolate especially.[after chocolate the living room has on occasions looked like we've been burgled] we notice these have a delayed effect of 2-4 hours before kicking in but also a build up effect which wears off after cutting them out over several weeks there are a few other triggers too for him we know so far.....for quite a few others milk products[cassein] are a trigger....it might be worth considering.Music[eg tapes in the car] help too.Trying to keep calm and remain peaceful is helpful but no help if a seatbelt is undone in the car whilst driving somewhere and some tempers go beyond this I know.We are making steady progress partly as we learn more and partly as he matures...we are so much further on than we were 2 years ago.Good luck.Having a loving attitude and approach to him as you clearly do must be a great starting point.Keep trying think laterally ask around and keep trying to find the way foreward and you will surely progress with this.Love Jeanie
