Meeting emotional.needs

I'm going to ask some awkward questions, so please don't be offended if I come across as being hostile, because I'm trying not to be and ask questions around the subject.

8 year old boys are often loud noisy and very physical, is he in need of more physical exercise? I've found that when boys and some girls too are going through a phase like that then joining a martial arts club can be good, it teaches them how to be disciplined with their physicality and gives them an emotional outlet through the physical actions.

Are you focussing to much on his emotional needs, could he be in need of more firm disciplinary boundaries? Of course he'll object and fight back but you need to stay strong with the boundaries. Boundaries are an invisble behavioural container that keeps everybody safe, just because he's ASC, I assume he is as you're posting here asking for advice, dosen't mean he dosen't need boundaries.

At his developmental stage he's probaby unable to verbally express his needs and so acts them out, part of the safety of boundaries is you being able to ask open questions that don't require much more from him than yes or no answers at first, he may open up a bit more if he feels heard and taken seriously.
