"Yes, for sure he is more controlled. He can process the instructions now."
AFTER
Consultant: How about his aggression? Is it more controlled now?
Father: Yes, for sure he is more controlled now. He can process the instructions now.
For example he wants something, if we say it is not there, we buy tomorrow. Then he says ‘ok we will buy tomorrow. He is not getting angrier, at least. This is the observation we made.
In the past, when he’s having this bad mood on a bad day, he would react either with crying or by throwing whatever was there in his hands, or by hitting the door, switching on and off the lights - physical activities he used to do.
He does those sometimes now also, like hitting the door very harshly so that it will hit the wall and come back making the sound. But that is there less times, compared to earlier.
