  • Hi, I have 2 sons both with Aspergers, my middle son now 14 had huge anger issues especially at school, where he would hit out at teachers, walk out of school, lock himself in toilets and swear (which he would never normally do). Bear in mind that this was when he was 8 or 9 and we have only just got a diagnosis but what we did may help you a little. We had to teach him to recognise when he was getting angry and change the situation, since this was mostly at school the teachers also had to co-operate (another story) but when he started to recognise his first response was to feel his hands clenching he put a red card on his desk and went and sat in the quiet area set aside for him - it was not the only signal but he recognised 3 or 4 different things that made him see he was getting angry or frustrated and once the teachers co-operated and left him alone for a little while he would calm down and carry on with the lesson. Hope this helps
