@Jackie I feel so bad for you, as my son has done things because God told him to , he is on strong medication but I recently saw that he sent messages to his friend saying at the brook he saw a satanic mist and voices , he thinks god will kill him and asks me to pray he won't.  

@mamamia-user-907358569 I try to get my son to have herbal drinks like bed relaxing drinks or lavender ,and use lavender oil in the home as it has a calming effect.  It does help where other things fail. They won't always have it but use the lavender on pillows even settees and in candles or burners if safe 

My son. 20was diagnosed at 18 whilst in hospital, he was there 3 and a half months, which like a torture to me as I knew he also was undiagnosed autistic.  In the end when he left he was diagnosed autistic but I hated the hospital.  He still acts as if it was a kind of holiday as he didn't understand why he was really there.
