Behavioral Therapist

I think its time to find Carson a behavioral therapist. He is completley out of control and Billy and I are just at a loss of what to do. Discipling a child who is non verbal and has the comprehension level of a 12 month old is very difficult. He doesnt listen and thinks everything is a game. He has been tearing the house apart today and we cant control him. We have never seen this kind of behavior before today. I have no idea whats going on or what has happened for this drastic change to occur. He is still eating all gluten free foods and he gets no sugar at all. Maybe its just a phase or maybe now that he is getting older his autistic characteristics are going to become more severe. We need to find more autism trainings to attend because we have so much more to learn.

This is a glimpse into the morning we had:
4:45am - Carson wakes up
5:00 - meltdown because he wants breakfast
6:00 - Maddy wakes up with a blowout diaper and I put her in the bath
6:10 - Carson comes upstairs and gets in the bath with all of his clothes on as I yell and tell him NO
6:15 - Carson is mad because Maddy is in the bath and he wants the bath all to himself so I take her out and let him stay in
6:45 - Just when I think things couldnt get any worse Carson poops in the bathtub, I immediatley take him out and get him dressed
7:00 - I put both kids in Carson's room with the gate up so I can clean the bathtub, as I'm cleaning I look behind me and Carson has knocked the gate over and Maddy is crawling towards the stairs
7:05 - All 3 of us are crying

Yes this all happened before 7am this morning and I left a lot of stuff out. During all of this Carson was constantly into things that he shouldnt have been and he kept going down the basement stairs and running from me while I was trying to take care of Maddy. He went into his room and took his dresser drawers out of his dresser and threw clothes all over his room. He had about 5 outbursts during this time as well.

I think its time to find a behavioral thearapist....
