Guy has in the past suffered aggression towards himself and his mother when dysregulated however following several investigations and correct medication guy is now settled with no physical aggressive outbursts but can become dysregulated and emotionally upset and display anxiety, however activities he enjoys, and being outdoors can regulate him quickly and effectively.
