Anyone have experience with having to call authorities on their child because of their teenager’s threatening behavior? My 16-year-old son recently diagnosed with ASD was threatening me and destroying things in the house. I could not help calm him down and had to call the police. He is now in a hospital, and for several days, he kept trying to leave telling them he did not need to be there and it’s all a misunderstanding. I was advised to not visit yet because he is still agitated. He kept telling the nurses and doctors that he did not need to stay. I take responsibility for always pacifying him, this is the first time I have followed through after being confronted by him. My heart is breaking but I know he needs to take responsibility for his actions.
