[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 305486, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome to the board. Sorry you have to be here. in my opinion if you can get him into good treatment so he is doing better, you can really help you as well! It's like a cycle you're locked into. So I have a few questions and some thoughts. Is your son getting any interventions at all for Aspergers, which is probably the cause of all of his behaviors? Have you studied up on Aspergers to understand what it is and why he behaves like he does? Aspe's do not respond to "normal" discipline as their brains are wired differently and they need interventions to live a normal life, not just medications. In fact only half of all Aspies take medications at all. Some don't need them. in my opinion I wouldn't worry about the boyfriend issue now...again in my opinion you're not in a good place to get involved. If most are telling you to hit him you'll probably just complicate your life even more if you get into a relationship. Your son isn't "bad." He has a disorder and he needs help and may not be getting the help he needs in school. The last thing he needs is some man in his life who thinks he's bad and just needs a good whopping. If you haven't read up on Aspergers I strongly recommend reading all of Tony Attwood's books. They are awesome! You can learn a lot. Then you need to make sure he is getting the proper treatment from school. He likely desperately needs social skills classes. Is he bullied? How are his grades? These kids can be a mess if they don't get the right kind of help. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
