I can understand why Anna is so grumpy and fed up its totally understandable and a valid response. Id be exactly the same. I think you have a point Kevin. The internet not working properly made Andy think it was the tv that was broken because when he smashed the others a new 1 arrived and the problem was fixed so it seemed like the tv was the problem to him. I really hope you all have a better rest of the week.

This is not meant in a bad manner: I have experience in dealing with Autism [I have an autistic brother] I would recommend making Andy wait longer than a month for new TV, [maybe 2 or 3] Clearly Andy is very clever and has "logically" figured out that you will both "give in" as you said he doesnt "rely" on the Tv anymore so for your own sanity I would advise not replacing it so quickly. again this is meant in the nicest possible way, im not trying to be nasty, Im trying to make a suggestion

Honestly, well done to you for not giving in this time and NOT replacing the TV as that would be rewarding him, plus, as you mentioned, before, you are not made of money. My mother would have done the same to me, as well as ground me for at least 3 months and make me pay off the damage. I think from a young age, I was taught that this wasn't acceptable (which may or may not have contributed to me overly apologizing for accidently breaking stuff and then offering to replace it.). I would also like to congratulate you in admitting that it was yours and Anna's fault for giving in to him in the first place every time he did it and that circumstances meant he was effectively babysat by technology which is possibly why he is like he is now. Not a lot of parents in the situation can admit that. I do 100% agree (and this goes to Anna especially) that it is high time to get strict now. I personally think Andy needs other non-tech based outlets, like maybe gardening, or something related to building or making things, as ideas. I myself walk my dog, draw, paint, felt, do some gardening, walk around town, plan day trips, etc. Another idea I thought, would be to not only teach him that smashing up stuff isn't acceptable, (which I am glad you're getting on top of now), but I would also maybe use Disneyland as an incentive, or at least the finances of it. So, every time he smashes up a TV, maybe remind him that it costs a lot of money, and that with every smashed TV, is less money for Disneyland. It sounds harsh, I understand, but it's an idea that I think you could try. Which ever you decide, the end line is you CANNOT allow him to do this. People tend to forget that autistic people and kids CAN be manipulative as well, and it is VERY important to get this nipped in the bud ASAP and get on top of it, (this is especially towards Anna) before they do this to more people because one day, they might do this to a person, who won't take that kind of thing and metaphorically, give him a black eye. Even worse, could get arrested.

I worked in a group home one time to where we had an autistic resident that LOVED TV's. The company bought a cabinet for the new TV. It was anchored to the wall while sitting on the floor. I think the company paid about 1200.00 for it, but it definitely solved the problem of the TV fund draining so fast. I would definitely look into getting one for Andy. The TV stand needs to be as close to the wall though so that it can be secured.

I am afraid I have to say it may end up being a case of "No Games unless someone is Watching" :( Perspex "Bash Protection" is a Good idea, a Shield against the Controller. Those Xbox Pads are Pretty Heavy! Your Dad has a Good Idea there. That or the Super-Tough Cabinet. No, Anna is Right! I actually agree with Her that You Probably do not need So many Camera's! Sorry, I have to agree with Anna there. You are also Right however, £1000 is the Price of a Holiday! You do not have the Money for a Load of TV's and a Holiday, its Either Or. Well, I am afraid I see it mostly being a case of either a TV Downstairs, or Someone is going to have to Sit in His Room with Him... even with the Cabinet or the Bash Plate, As I am Sorry to Say, and this is coming from someone with Autism, this is Striking Me as a "learned Behaviour" . You need to keep an Eye on Andy when He Plays Games I think. Either way, I also think it is Ridiculous that modern Consoles are so reliant on something as unreliable as the Internet, to the point they basically do not work without it, they really do need a "Failsafe" Offline mode, like STEAM has, IMO, for when the Internet Fails, so the Games will still boot up and Play, but, You don't get achievements, cloud save or Multiplayer. I hope the Rest of the Week goes a Lot Better. Either way, You are Right to come down Hard on this, the Home Andy will go to in Future is most likely *not* going to tolerate this kind of Behaviour, so, indeed, it needs to be nipped in the Bud.

It seems the main issue is that he has regressed when it comes to his communication skills. You are probably already doing this, but throughout the day, I would repeat a script with him about what to do if there is a problem with his tv. Also maybe put some visuals by the tv like a print of a stop sign saying “do not break tv” and another printed paper saying “Go ask mom or dad for help”. Laminate them and stick them by the tv. Have him read you the signs before he gets his tv remote for the day and at night when he gives the remote back. Maybe start a sticker reward chart just for him showing responsibility and care for his electronics.

The cabinet is expensive but would have already paid for itself by now. Might be worth saving up for one.

I know you can get protective screens for ipads and stuff can you can them for TVs? Or padding on them?

Not buying him a new tv straight away seems like the right call. A protective cabinet in case of meltdowns sounds good too. Sorry you guys are dealing with that. .

Did Andy not think it was the TV fault for the wifi and that's why he broke it.

with all due respect anna, kev having cameras for his job isnt comparable to smashing tv's like theyre going out of fashion, hardly kev's fault is it

As a child on the spectrum I often smashed things out of frustration. My parents were told I needed a room with padding but they didn't do thing like that

Well I can relate to why they may not want to do that! As old mad houses used to have them and you'd be locked in a padded cell! I've been in a padded room locked in before on a violent meltdowns at primary back around in 2008 nearly everyday! They ain't nice! Especially if u don't like loud noises echoing! But that school was the best as it was a mainstream school that opened up a unit for people with autism in 2008! Better than my high school!

Plus they may not want to treat you like you belong in a old mad house so that's why they may not of done it.

Plus it maybe costly but don't know how much so finances maybe a other issue.
