Just had some family move in for a while. With them is my nephew who's autistic. We've also been told he has brain damage, there's more there than autism. He's really cool, and we love and care about him, have learned a lot from him. He's three, just learned "no" and "bye".
But he's also spoiled and we are loosing our minds. We're lucky to get through an hour without a screaming fit because he didn't get something that he wants. We can't keep letting him do what he wants just for quite, we also can't sit and listen to constant screaming.
Not trying to be mean, but the situation they were in was abusive and this is pretty much the first time he's been disiplined.
Is it normal to set up a sound proof room, not as a babysitter, but a room where he can throw a fit and be until he calms down? If this is comon, does anyone have some decent/cheap plans or list of materials needed for sound proofing and padding?
Any help would be great, thanks
