Mickie has been ripping apart mattresses and pillows for over a decade now. Not only is it expensive to replace them because he has incontinence issues and they have to be waterproof, but add to that the fact that for some unknown reason he just has need to rip everything in his room apart. He has gone through around 30 mattresses in the last 10 years. This year he finally took apart his car bed so I got him another bed, but he ripped apart the mattress. I just got him a faux leather futon to see how long that last. Will make a video about it shortly. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uOBK_HDKLA

Apparently one of the classroom aids offered him pizza, not knowing he is not allowed to have pizza due to Casein and Gluten intolerance, then immediately after she learns that he can't have any and reminds him that he already ate, but by then he was so upset that it escalated into a big meltdown and he ended up banging his head on the floor two times. I knew that Keppra, the medication he was prescribed to manage his seizures would make him irritable and he had been really grumpy in the last few weeks, but I was very surprised he had banged his head, since this had not happened in a few years. Self injury is the reason he was prescribed Risperdal. I hope this will be just a one time thing.
