| Like I said, I'm trying to understand my son as best as I can. I sort of understand when he is about to have a melt down, or when he needs to "cool down". I don't think his school understands this though. He is getting in trouble for making noises or crawling on the floor. I think he is feeling over... |

| Reading this is helping me understand how my son is feeling . He is 7 and was just diagnosed with Aspergers. The only problem I have with his meltdowns is that he attacks me. Not anyone else, just his mom. He will bite me, kick me, hit, pinch, scratch, etc. I am not sure how to calm him down. I will... |

| Ok, so try to make the "punishment" related to the "crime". I got it now. :) I guess this is going to be more difficult than I thought it would be. I asked him to pick up his legos that he was playing with and he said "no". So I said if I have to pick them up, they will be mine. He didn't seem to ca... |

| I am having trouble coming up with ways to discipline my son. The only form of punishment that we use right now is taking away privilages. This works somewhat, but causes a ton of anxiety for him. For example. When he got in trouble yesterday, I took away his IPOD and his television. He went wild an... |

| I am slowly, but surely learning about how to handle my son's outbursts and melt downs. Thank you for all of your thoughts and ideas. I have learned that it's going out in public that really sets him off. We bought him a nice set of headphones and an ipod touch. We plan on using this when we go out ... |

| His diagnosis is new, so we are new to Aspergers. We are still waiting to get set up with therapists and help. I'm still trying to figure out what he can handle, what causes melt downs, etc. I'm usually the first one to take my son out of a restaurant/store/situation if he starts having a melt down.... |

| Thank you for all of your input. I think I was mostly embarrassed. I am usually the first one to say "lets go" when my son is misbehaving or having a melt down. Today, I think we were just having an off day with all of this taking place in about 10 minutes of being there. We also have a 9 month old,... |

| We have a 7 year old son who was just diagnosed with Aspergers within the past month. This morning, while we were at a bakery trying to have breakfast, my son was having a tantrum. He started to scream, hit at me, etc. I took him to the side of the restaurant and was calmly trying to calm him down a... |
