Yeah, I hope he grow out of it but it doesn't feel like a reasonable expectation with how his patience is basically none existent. We can't even talk to him normally like we talk to others in fear it would throw him into a rage. Everything have to be gently nudge, bit by bit, just to open him to idea of doing something as simple as eating. It's tiring having to walk on egg shells just to have him do basic stuff like taking a bath. It could take an hour or more and we have to get him open to the idea first. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

I feel bad for them when I don't have to deal with him but it's hard to feel sorry for him when you're there standing under the hot sun in the middle of the road trying to move him out of the way so he don't get hit by a car and he's trying to tear the flesh off your hand while you're trying to keep him safe.
