Hi,
It's understandable that your brother is experiencing emotional distress after the loss of his father, especially given his autism and close bond with his dad. When a person with autism faces a significant change or loss, it can lead to increased anxiety, agitation, or behavioural changes, including shouting or violence. Since your brother is under the care of a psychologist and neurologist, it's important to continue regular follow-ups and communicate any new or worsening symptoms to his healthcare team. Sometimes, medication adjustments may be necessary if side effects are causing issues or if the medication isn't effectively managing his symptoms. It's also crucial to provide him with a stable, supportive environment, and consider incorporating therapies like counseling or behavioural therapy to help him cope. Remember, behavioural changes can be part of the adjustment process, but close monitoring by healthcare professionals will ensure he gets the appropriate support and medication management.

Autism is a disorder of lack of socio emotional reciprocation. It’s difficult for children with autism to establish interpersonal relationships and to adapt to changes. Hence, his emotional outburst at this stage is understandable.
Kindly make sure he is under therapy with a RCI licensed clinical psychologist only who can help him to regulate his emotions.

Hi,
I’m really sorry for your brother’s loss and your family’s pain. Sudden behavioral changes like shouting or aggression can be part of how individuals with autism express grief, especially after losing someone they were deeply attached to.
It’s good that you’ve consulted both a psychologist and neurologist. If the symptoms continue despite treatment, it may help to review the current therapy and medications together in a detailed case consultation.
I’d be happy to support you with this—you’re not alone in this journey.
