Okay so what does it mean when my 9 month old daughter is throwing herself backward hitting her head, pulling her hair and biting herself?

my 6 year olds school reckon that although uncommon my sons behaviour is within normal range however i dont. it started at 18 mths and has got worse as he has got older. kicking, hitting, screaming, swearing, spitting, biting, throwing things etc in the last 12 mths school have exluded him 3 times and are currently having to restrain him during these ‘tantrums’ he can take between a few minutes to calm down but the longest it has taken and that school have had to physically restrain him has been a few hours. the smallest thing can be responsible for setting him off such has being asked to come inside at the end of play time. obviously reward charts and time outs have been tried but using such things or distraction techniques when a ‘tantrum’ begins has absolutely no effect and he is ultimately unable to calm him self it is literally a case of sitting him down, restraining and waiting for it to pass. I’m fed up with professsionals passing it off as bad parenting etc especially since he still presents major issue in school I am fed up with being told it iss wihtin normal range especially when he is sent to his room to cool off and replies with fine but i wont wake up in the morning trying to get professionals to sit up and listen is like standing in a room full of people and screaming at the top of your voice but no one turns around to look. If so called professionals dont listen and take it seriously where else is left to turn?
