[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 416910"] Don't give up on him. My 12 year old has the same diagnosis and it IS a struggle at first. I have learned to probe for the whys when we "disagree" on things. It has given me great insights into how he thinks which makes it easier for me to do things differently. Is your son on any medications? It is a learning process for both of you. He can't learn to change unless you learn how he thinks so you can begin to teach. There are several websites that do a good job of explaining Asperger's. I have found OASIS and autismspeaks to be a great help. I would also recommend you read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I have used a variation of his plan to help me get to the why of difficult child's behavior. He doesn't come right out and tell me what is bothering him and has no idea why he acts the way he does so probing really helps. Good Luck and welcome to the "family". There are many wise women here that will give you more advice. [/QUOTE]
