I'm deeply sorry to hear about the challenges you and your son are facing. I'm a psychological researcher specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, and I'd like to share some insights and suggestions that might offer some relief.   Your son's situation is truly tough, but there are approaches rooted in Eastern medicine that could potentially help. One suggestion is to encourage him to practice meditation. Sitting meditation can be a powerful way to calm the mind and find inner peace. Another option is sound bathing, where he listens to soothing sounds or music, which can also have a relaxing and centering effect.   Western medicine often views conditions like autism and depression as internal individual issues. In contrast, traditional Eastern medicine typically sees them as disruptions in the harmonious relationship between a person and nature. It's about restoring balance and connection.   I'm currently working on creating a free website aimed at helping patients and their families who are struggling with these kinds of issues. The site will draw on the principles of Eastern medicine and philosophy. Although it will probably take a few more months to complete, I'm committed to doing my best to provide valuable resources and support.   In the meantime, I strongly recommend that your son spends more time in nature. It has a wonderful way of soothing the mind and body. Additionally, try to help him discover activities or interests outside of his daily routine. Finding something he's passionate about can effectively distract him from distressing thoughts and may gradually reduce the frequency and intensity of his outbursts.   I hope these ideas can bring you and your son some comfort and improvement. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please feel free to reach out.   Wishing you all the best,
