| Hi SaxNerd, Yes, distance education is very well organised, and when my son had a difficult time late in the year, they adjusted the curriculum for him. Very accomodating. I guess it will depend on how I cope with it too, I am a sole parent, and aspie too. So far so good. Yes, he has karate 3 times ... |

| And a big thank you to SaxNerd , I appreciated your input. I did read it at the time, but flat out forgot to respond with all the changes we had to make. Pulled DS 10 out of school , middle of last year, and enrolled him in distance education. We are doing distance education again this year. His phy... |

| Hi there judyorchid , sorry, just saw your post. Yes you can email me. I have a 10yr old, and have been forced to do distance education with him due to no schools in our area being suitable. What area are you from? |

| Thank you so much for all the thoughtful replies. We now have an appointment for an ASD clinic pysc. My son has been very remorseful and has been able to express increadible insight into his rage, and that his head gets too full to think of anything other than striking out. That being said, the knif... |

| Thanks oliveoilmom, I had to call the police, I am a sole parent, recovering from cancer, so still not really strong physically. And he has nothing to do with his father.

| Thank you everyone for your responses, I really appreciate the suggestions and feedback. The knives are still packed away, including his pocket knife. I told him I had talked to the police about it, and he was upset, but I said I had no option, he had crossed the line, and I feared for my safety. He... |

| Hi there, I am a sole mum to a 10 yr old Asperger boy. I am also Aspergers. Last week we were playing a game throwing soft balls at each other playfully. It got out of hand and I didn't recognise that he was getting angry till it was too late. He went into his room and got out his pocket knife and h... |

Thank you for your thoughts, Im not sure on it either. His anxiety is a combination of school being too overwhelming, and my recent battle with breast cancer.
He has and continues to have psyc on a weekly basis, but he is getting worse.
Thanks. |

| Hi BuyerBeware, Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry you lost your mum so young, that would have been tough. And yes you are right, I am everything, his only support, his world.
