Yes this is all hindsight--- but i have to say that today was a 180 from last week! Again it just goes to show you that Autism just has to show you that "IT" is in charge.
I must admit that those days are enough to send you to the crazy farm. You feel helpless, you search your soul for what happened and how it could have been different. You feel emotions for your kid and what he is going thru and you are exhausted because of the combination of all the afore mentioned STUFF. This is not unusual, anyone who lives with Autism knows this situation. It is not fun.
What I can say is that when you have a day like to day is renews you. It also allows you to see and consider things that were not in your tool belt last week! Every day is a learning experience.
What I believe now is that the volatile behavior was a pre cursor to him getting sick. That's the simple answer. The answer for that specific occurance many times its not that simple-- You just have to be a detective; many times the answer will not come till days or even weeks later. All you can do is use that info the next time you encounter crap behavior! Maybe it will help maybe not. Just dont give up. Try to preserve calm and ignore as much as you can. Use your knowledge to help your child. AND I will say this is all easier said than done!
