Hey welcome. I think a punching bag is great. My son is HF autistic and I place him in swimming and tae kwan do. He never had an aggression problem but he can tantrum when he wants something and hears no. Be active, like the gym or swimming or martial arts. they say activity is great for the sensory and all and tires you out but i work out frequent and get the same. makes me more alert, focused and positive.

I am 52 and my son is 16 we both have Aspergers Yes I hurt the ones I love but is it BP I or other stuff. Here for you.

Thank you everyone.

Hi
glad you joined us! It is nice here.
My son gets aggressive too, he can not tell me why, he has few words. I can understand how u may feel just because of the frustraition i see on my sons face. let me know how the punching bag works, i thought about getting Steven one, but im wasnt sure yet.
Glad your here!!

Hi Stubbsville, nice to meet you. I have a 13 year old son with High Functioning Autism and a 28 year old brother with Aspergers. They both get violent and lash out, often over things that nobody else even notices. It's difficult, and I know you don't mean to do it.
Punching bag sounds like a great idea. Have you tried a pet? Both my son and brother have found the relationship with an animal helpful. My brother has a small dog and my son has a pet rat.

Hello Stubbsville! Nice to have you with us! I hope this doesn't offend you, but I wanted to ask, How do you feel, rather what are you feeling when you become agressive? Can you think of the thoughts you are having during this time? I am trying to understand my son's agressive behavior, and feel that if I could understand his frustrations, etc. just maybe I could alter the severity of his agressive behavior. Thank You.
