puberty, oh my godl!!!!!!

Hi, I am new to this talk net so I hope I am doing this right. My 11 year old son who has aspergers is going through a very rough time. He is afraid of his own shadow and countless other problems. I would love to talk with some other people with similar problems. :)

I'm an Aspie that's just gone through that stage (I'm nearly 20 now) and it can be a bugger.

Hello,

I wasn't quite sure where to put this thread. Josh turns 11 in july and we can tell puperty has started. He doesnt feel as energetic as he use too. Also he seems to feel awkward like his equalibrium is off. We had his vision
checked and We took him to his physician who said he is starting to change.
The current problem is josh is very aggressive like he wants to test his strengths out by starting a physical fight with his brother and his dad.Josh did type out that he wants to box because he feels he has too, and wants other people(men) to know how tough he is. He is not mad when he starts hitting because he laughs while hes doing this. Josh is about 5'7 & 210 pounds . Also his teacher is a big man and josh wants to show him up. We are trying to manage this but we are exhausted, does anyone know what to do about this, also that color (red,green,blue)mood system/concept is not working, josh could care less.

No advice, but well wishes and cyber hugs. I am not looking forward to this phase.
My older son (neuro-typical, sort of) is going through puberty now and it is very challanging.
