The problem is, when he gets frustrated, all reason goes out the window and he is just a little ball of feelings
This is my DS7's problem too. I've finally read The Explosive Child (quite a wait from the library) - what a relief to read about other children like him, and to find a book for parents of the children who don't obediantly go to their rooms for time out. Frustration seems to be the key issue - just too much emotion for them to cope with, so everything bottlenecks into rage. I really recommmend the book - it gives a very different perspective on dealing with these children.
