He goes to see his counselor tomorrow and I will see what she suggests. We have only lived here for a year and I don't know too many people. My neighbors are nice enough. We have a couple of friends about 20 minutes away. Honestly though? It would take a whole heck of a lot for me to call on any of them in a crisis because I am so embarrassed when he is like that! I can't even stand the thought of my neighbors knowing that my 10 year old tries to beat me up. 
They have no idea of any of that because usually when they see him, he is acting nice. We even get compliments from them about how well behaved our boys are! Boy, if they only knew. Don't get me wrong, "I" know that he has issues and that's why he is in various therapies and sees a handful of dr's but the neighbors and friends don't even know the half of any of that. They know he has Asperger's but not our whole story. I'm just so afraid of them judging us and I have just got to the point where I don't make friends easily anymore because I really don't want to take the chance of being judged or losing friends over my son. Of course, if things get really bad and a police car pulls into my driveway, I guess they will know something is up. <sigh>
His dr prescribed the Atarax for two weeks in hopes that he would calm down by then and fall into a routine and the worst of dad leaving would be behind him. I have my doubts that the medication will help but we shall see.
