[QUOTE="Angela41, post: 536681, member: 14703"] Thanks again everyone. We're seeing a counselor and she is going to start with working on some of his "triggers." He seems a little more adaptive the past few weeks with just a couple serious aggressive incidents at home. He does often show remorse for his actions and can be extremely kind- when he's calm. When he's angry, he seems to "flip a switch" and empathy and reason go out the window. We know he explodes and are just now getting to the root of things- possibly some sensory, very definitely anxiety, perfectionism and lack of flexible problem solving skills (e.g. "my lego tower fell over, so my only option is to become unreasonably angry and fling it across the room" kind of inflexibility). Yes, these are Aspergers traits, but there is enough social engagement and empathy that it may just be partial (if that's possible). What is it they say- "allergies, eczema, autism." Well he has seasonal (no food) allergies, eczema and a family history of autism, so we'll see how it comes out in the wash. [/QUOTE]
