Liam doesn't ... |

| I am only new on this site and no authority at all, but I have already found that shouting or punishing my son doesn't work and only builds more anger and frustration, the only thing that works for me is if I tell him I'm going out for a walk because I don't want to be with him (I know he doesn't li... |

| Hi My 13 year old son has just been diagnosed as being 'Aspergery' at a second opinion appointment this week after two years of trying to find why high school is such a problem to him, especially as we had no problems when he was in junior school, just the usual complaints from time to time that he ... |
