Re: I would love some help.

I think you have two different problems. One is the self-regulation aspect - always on level 8. The other is not knowing his spelling words. Does that happen often or is it just a matter of not studying? You might have a full educational evaluation to see if he has a learning disability. That could cause a lot of frustration.

As for the self-regulation, there are some programs out there where they rate the levels of anger and frustration. It might be worthwhile to get this as part of his therapy - speech therapists are often charged with working on social skills. I would make this part of it. Or if the counselor does something like that at your school, ask to have these concepts being taught. Also, teach coping skills. When a person is frustrated over not knowing their spelling words, what would you like to see him doing? How do you feel he should express that? Teach him ways to identify how he is feeling and better express it. Here are two books just off the top of my head --> <<The Way to A:

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

( ) I would love some help.

Hello everyone!

I am new to the group. My son age 7 has just been diag with Asperger's with in the last two months.

We are seeing some behavior issues and would love some help if you all have any ideas with how to help him.

Jacen gets frustrated or angry very quickly and can lash out typically at me. Today for example we were discussing his spelling words when Jacen had a fit because he couldn't spell them.

Does anyone else seem to have a child that runs on a frustration level of 8 all the time?

First lets look at this like a learning disorder.

With math problems if my daughter does not

know a calculation the special ed teacher lets

her type it in on the calculator and she remains

very regulated. Her recall of math facts is very

poor but surprisingly she scores well on concepts.

Can he read well and recognize words? If so then the

issue may be with working memory of new words. Many

AS kids have a great memory of facts does he?

With these kind of behavior issues a very structured

predictable setting helps. You may rehearse how to

handle difficulties and reduce stress so he can

cope better.

When too much is going on my daughter hs outburts

frequently, when I scale back the pace of the day

she is so pleasant.
