6 yr old with temper tantrums

My 6 yr old started having temper tantrums 2 months ago, both at school and home. He gets so frustrated when he cannot do something or if a toy does not work etc.. In school, he is smart, but if he cannot understand something he throws a tantrum. He screams at the top of his voice.. We have tried to ignore for a while, and when that did not work, we tried to reason and help him figure out what to do.. Im so upset that his school work will suffer..had him evaluated but no answer yet...

your son may be suffering from adhd or autims. the rarest form of autism is aspergous syndrome. your child will be smart and have a high iq. he may hit himself 33% become depressed. you can also get constipation in the bowls. they have so much anger inside of them. they usually are quiet and dont talk to strangers some arnt quiet and will talk to strangers. i have aspergous syndrome i wasnt diagnosed till the age of 12. ask your doctor about seeing a peadiatrition or you can go to a family place where they will help diagnose your son. good luck. please write back.
