He is wild,loud and angry, but worst of all hates himself, he hurts himself and talks negative about himself. I want to help him but don't know how and no one seems to be able to answer ?'s. websites tell about it but has no ideas and can't seem to find books at libraries. I'm tired and stressed and feel as if i'm at a dead end. How can I help my precious baby boy?

I think you should join a support group. Use the internet to search for them...i know there's one at aspergersnw.com
I'd also do a yahoo search on teaching aspergers so that you can see what tricks teachers use in this regard. Then you can go to the library to see if they happen to have those titles. Likely have them at a University library so if your local library doesn't have it try the nearest college or University. You won't be able to check it out but you can make copies (ok, not legally but who cares...)

You really really need to find a good psychologist, preferably one with experience with autism spectrum disorders. My son has aspergers and I have no idea where we would be without his psych. She can talk to him, understand where he is coming from and help him create good management plans. The difficulty is you can't just erase the problem, or solve it in one session, it will take many baby steps.
Aspergers has a lot of anger and repression going on, and it's very very normal for this disorder. It's just as hard on you...and you probably need therapy and maybe respite care. Please call your local developmental delays council and ask them for resources. I don't know where you live..or I could give you some URL's. Maybe...I can talk anytime too, and you should join some yahoo support groups

As a self-taught drummer myself, i will inform you that there extremely isn't any 'quickly" thanks to study an device. It takes quite a number of patience, practice, discipline, and labor. Now that being reported, some people do study speedier than others so it quite relies upon on the guy. I have 2 cousins that both play guitar and both are self-taught. My one cousin Terry practiced purely about daily and picked it up speedier than my cousin Dave, who did not practice very nearly as a lot. Terry grew to grow to be exceptionally darn solid in about 8 months. all of it boils all the way down to how determined you're, how a lot you practice, and how instantly you p.c.. issues up. My suggestion should be to get an tutorial e book or DVD and study some chords. in case you do it on your human being you'll save quite a number of money and also you may flow at your human being p.c... Guitar training at the instantaneous are not low priced lately, except you understand someone. purely supply it a shot on your human being for a month or 2 and see the way you progression. Then in case you sense you opt on training to get better effective, then hit upon a stunning good instructor it really is actual not too expensive. regardless of the indisputable fact that the final analysis is to practice....practice.....practice! solid success!

Is he receiving therapy? I am working on my master's degree right now in speech-pathology. Having therapy working on pragmatics (social skills/awareness/readiness) could really be beneficial for you son. A SLP can role-play with him and talk with him about things that are frustrating for him . We have a child with aspergers in the clinic that I work in right now and he receives only services to help with social skills and awareness. He is a much happier boy now that he can express himself and plan for events that may occur in his day-to-day life. Goodluck...and never feel like you are at a dead end - talk to a SLP they can help you or get you connected to someone who can!

My cousin has Aspergers ( he found out when he was 8) and his doctor told his mother to have him find an activity that he can gear his negative "energy" at. He now participates in karate and is awhole lot more calm then when he first found out.

the comment on finding him a class to let some of the anger out and focus is a good one. i got my son into soccer at the local college its a pee wee class and he is always calmer after. when he shows anger during the week. we take the soccer ball to the park to practice. your son may not like soccer but another sport might work.

My brother is 8, and he has asbergers...he plays video games all the time, and that seems to help him out alot, because he is able to "flap" and all like he does...and it relieves stress and all...alot of it just comes with age tho.
