[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604283, member: 1550"] I want to warn you that my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son, who hates loud noise usually, LOVES to listen to loud music and he cranks it into his ears from his earbuds. There are certain noises he doesn't like and some he can tolerate. He also does well in group situations although he isn't Mr. Friendly and is shy unless he is with people he knows who come up to him. All ASDers are different. No two are alike. Sensory issues are a huge part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). What isn't so normal is his constant anger and acting out and I'm wondering if there are any mood disorders on either side of his family tree. Aspergers is far more likely to strike if bipolar or a mood disorder of another type is wired in the ole family DNA and they can also co-exist. I am thinking he is far more violent than most Aspies. The majority of Aspies we met in our large Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) group were pretty gentle and their parents did not complain about violence. I think you should take him to a neuropsychologist. That way the neuropsychologist will look for everything and not focus on one problem. I believe APDs are commonly seen in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My daughter was diagnosed with one, but I think it was a misdiagnosis. She certainly doesn't seem to have symptoms of anything much anymore at age seventeen. Anything is worth a try if it may help though. I'd look carefully at a possible mood disorder which DOES cause violence/anger/aggression. [/QUOTE]
