Hi im Julia my eldest son was delivered few years back weighing nearly 12lbs and following a very difficult forceps delivery. My son was born with a significant level of brain damage affecting numerous areas of development and behaviour. He displayed extreme hyperactive and very destructive behaviour from when first mobile had to occupied constantly or he would be literally climbing the walls and destroying everything in his path. He could never be left alone unoccupied and observed and expected to play creatively with his toys etc if not occupied constantly he literally smashed,destroyed and broke whatever was in his path but occupied he would copy whatever i did with toys or crayons or painting etc but had an inability to know when to stop doing something and many various other issues with control, impulses, comprehension, behaviour, he felt no physical pain as others do or hot or cold temperatures, had a open craniel fontenelle until age ten years also along with serious social skills issues and any child in his own peer group that he encountered he would literally claw and scratch at their faces as a toddler literally drawing blood and making them cry and this was always completely unprovoked to both boys and girls his own peer group. He was very clumsy and very uncoordinated also. At age ten a psychologist saw him for sessions after many sessions she has been able to stop my sons unprovoked attacks on all other children his own peer group and instead of attacking other children he was from then on only destructive to objects instead which was a great achievement and something as a parent i had been completely unable to stop for 10 years. I was advised the psychologist had given my son some kind specialist theraphy which made this possible i never was sure of the actual type of therapthy it was but someone mentioned they thought it might of been form of psychotherapthy. Please can advise what type of therapthy to ur knowledge would be able to achieve a result likd this on child brain damaged at birth could a type of psychotherapthy achieve results like this for my son please could u give me ur proffesional opinion as its something myself and his father always wondered but were never able to have confirmed. Many years later my son achieved a diagnosis of mild learning difficulties associated with autistic spectrum disorder, challenging behaviour from birth and adhd. He was also completely unable to say sorry for anything he did to anyone always feeling justified and feeling himself the victim when he himself had upset someone else until age 14 years. He was then trained to respond in certain types of situations with saying sorry however if u asked him what he was apologizing to u for at age 14 he had completely no idea what u were talking about, he was trained to give a set respondance in certain situation despite this he always had the ability to care. Please could u advise us ?
