Have you considered working in several routines into his practice so that he can choose his method for the day? You might even be able to find one quiet way for those days when you can't do the active methods (books, Nintendo game (can't even believe I'm suggesting that one), meditation), etc..

Just a thought - get Marky involved with the choices and see what he brings up to try.
I'll try it. Thanks.

Some parents of children with autism find that keeping the child's diet low in sugar and carbs helps.

Most persons moods change with variations in blood sugar levels, but autistic individuals are much more sensitive than normal individuals.

My fiancé is an autism specialist for a local school district and has devoted her life to autism. Her worst days are with non-verbal children that have episodes of acting out. From what she tells me, the key is to have an outlet. Imagine trying to tell someone something in a language they do not understand and becoming overwhelmingly frustrated when the other person does not understand. (That is how I understand it).
Long story short, there is not a single solution but there can be important information the person is trying to relay but their inability to do so is causing these rages.
The future fulfillment relies on your involvement so I commend your dedication and commitment to your son and hope and pray that you work it out.
