I gave Brendan the remedy yesterday afternoon and then again at night. We only had one incident yesterday at bathtime. He apparently did not want to take one and got mad about it. He headbutted me a few times. I redirected him to his commuication tools and told him to show me what he wants and that headbutting me isn't going to help me understand what he needs. He wanted to watch movies upstairs in our room. So we did. He was fine after that.
He has many tools to use to communicate. He is just quick tempered and instead of remembering that he can show me what he wants, he headbutts his displeasure.
Brendan's been a mole these last two days. He hasn't left the house. Has chosen to stay in his pajamas all day, lie in our bed (sometimes with his head under the covers) and watch movies or listen to music. He just seems to need to be in a controlled environment right now. My only concern is that he won't want to go to school tomorrow because it will be too chaotic for him after being in solitude all weekend. His mind and body just needed to rest this weekend.
