[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 255540, member: 1233"] We had similar problems with my difficult child. He has Asperger's and has this amazing amount of rage - due to who knows what. Because he is physically violent to his sister and I he ended up living with my parents while we tried to find a placement through the courts. The judge and cops kept messing around - cops wouldn't write up my complaint of domestic violence (I will NOT NOT NOT be beaten by ANYONE - ESPECIALLY my CHILD! - it was the cops or I would have eventually killed him - I KNOW myself.) and the judge wouldn't do anything until the cops did. My dad had just retired from teaching jr high, my child was IN jr high and my dad decided to keep him and work it out of him. He worked that boy in the yard (both of them together trimming trees and cutting out weeds that had 20 years+ to grow) until Wiz finally settled down and started using the tools that he had to cope. Now wiz is a 16yo senior in High School, getting great grades, doing a technical program to learn to be a machinist, will stay with the program for another year and tehn get a job as a machinist to pay for college! He also has his first job working in a grocery store, is in an anime club at the library, has a Friday Movie club with friends (rotating houses to watch a movie and snack and hang out rather than going to parties or whatever and getting into trouble!) and plays Magic and other games at a local teen hang out that is monitored by an adult and is safe. So things CAN turn out well, but you MUST provide a physical outlet for the rage. I really think with-o it my son would NOT be outside the "system". Our therapist really stressed providing a PHYSICAL chore like cutting weeds or scrubbing something for when difficult child was upset or he was in trouble for wreaking his havoc. It was really hard, but it worked. Maybe something physical would be another way to help your son. [/QUOTE]
