My husband is also Aspergers’-he was diagnosed when my son and he were part of an Aspergers’ study out of Duke/University of South Carolina-and is easily manipulated by my son and has “quiet meltdowns”. He was diagnosed at age 6 with Aspergers’, manifested in ADHD, ODD, and OCD. He has a few friends, but sometimes avoids them by stalling on his schoolwork (he’s homeschooled-our county has a lousy Autism/Aspergers’ program), and will lie, cheat, manipulate. He is extremely bright, but has no confidence. When he was younger, I tried the charts, rebuses, etc., only to have him manipulate his way around them. He is on Concerta, Risperdal, and Intuniv for impulse control. I have tried ignoring them, screaming over them, talking him through them, walking away (he follows me). My son, who’s 14, has major meltdowns-not violent, just loud-at least 3-4 times per day. Not sure how you can help, but any suggestions would be appreciated. I used to be carefree and happy and I feel sucked dry. Getting him to brush his teeth is like pulling teeth (no pun intended).

I am not sure if there is a book out there that would help me learn how to deal with him. He is in counseling, a peer support group that is teaching him how to socialize and is on medications. I need coping strategies because he has taken over my life.
I need help, but don't know what to do or how to handle him. I feel pretty hopeless about this which I know I need to turn around. He is completely socially isolated at school, can't focus, does not turn his homework in or following direction from teachers.Yes, there is an IEP in place. He does not listen even though I have a behavior mod plan designed by his therapist. I have a 14 year old boy with Aspergers and we are struggling in all area's,academically, socially and at home.
