Omers, could it maybe help if you *do* call 911 whenever you feel at risk? That way you'd have a paper trail and could possibly use it in the future as evidence that he can't stay with you. I'm not sure how all these things work. It just seems like there has to be someplace that could take him, even if it's, say, in the next state or something. If you're on Facebook, I imagine there's a (nonpublic) group or two for parents in your situation. I know I've gotten quite a bit of support and suggestions (even just reading other people's posts) in groups for parents of kids on the spectrum. You wouldn't have to use your real name on Facebook if you were concerned about privacy and didn't have an account already.
