Hi, father of 8 year old boy diagnosed with AS

Hi, I'm Nemesis. I am a father to two children, a boy (8) and a girl (2) and my boy has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. This is not a surprise as his mother and I knew something was "off-key."

What has been more difficult is that he has changed from an introverted, sweet boy into an aggressive, angry young man. He is eight years old, but he acts like a teenager. The slightest thing sets him off and he is abusive to his family and teachers. 

It is becoming very hard to deal with and honestly, I am not sure how to handle him.

I signed up for this board in the hope that I might get some advice. Can someone help?

  • Hi - I agree with the other posters.  Has your son get a statement of educational needs, an amount of 1-1 support?  Also it's worth bearing in mind any other changes that may be happening such as changes to his routine which may unsteady him.  How long has this been going on?  Hope you all can make some progress soon.Smile
