Hi, I think my son who 18 has aspergers. Do they act on any violent tendencies? He may mention something, but he is very passive, but may say aggressive things, not to me his single mom ... we live by ourselves, but to my boyfriend who is very outspoken an always on the go. We have just found this information out, an my boyfriend is shameful of some of the things he has said to my son. When my son has asked to only be left alone an not deal with my boyfriend. Is there reason to fear my boyfriend may be hurt, ?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.

Due to the complicated symptoms and irritation associated with it, violent behavior patterns are usually noted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy should be used on such patients.

You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.


Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
