    My concern would be nipping it in the bud as teenagers with Aspergers have poor appreciation of "place and people appropriate"

    There is a difference between boys hitting other boys the same age, and a 14 year old boy/young man hitting a 10 year old girl full force in the stomach
    Yip and there's a difference between a lad who suffers from AS and one who doesn't.

    I don't see how a 14 year old could ever be described as a young man, but, I spose it gives better effect to your point.

    I honestly wonder about the knowledge of some folk posting on here,all this talk of getting the Police involved is just not needed, seriously, I can't imagine what they would have thought every time my mother called them to say, oh that's Pauline punched June, oh, wait a minute, that's June punched Pauline, she'd end up getting done for wasting Police time!

    In the next hour, I am certain that a PCSO will walk past my house, doing their usual beat. If I were Pigpen would poke my head out the door and with no hysterics say:-

    "Hi, I have a 14 year old with Aspergers who has assaulted his sister. I would be really grateful if you could come inside and have a chat for 5 minutes with him and explain what the consequences of his actions might be if he did it to someone on the street, or in a few years time when he is even bigger"

    Is it really that ludicrous to suggest that? It's what we pay our taxes for and they, of course, are welcome to say say no or suggest something else.

    Nope, no violence towards anyone is right.

    Well your thread in DT already demonstrates your complete lack of understanding of life and families in general.

    So lets get this straight, (without the excuses please), your Son punched your young disabled Daughter as hard as he could in the stomach, and broke the nose of a girl at school?

    You need serious professional help NOW.

    No my disabled son punched his disabled sister.

    Over 5 years ago he defended himself against 3 little cowbags who thought it was ok for the 3 of them to strangle, claw and cause injury to a smaller boy of the same age because society thinks it is acceptable for women to hit men but not the other way round. If I set about my OH strangling him and clawing his face and head I'd expect him to use any means necessary to get me off, if in that melee I was hurt it would be my own fault because I shouldn't be hurting him in the first place.

    We have 4 PCSO's in this area (I always want to call them C3PO's lol) 1 on long term sick, 1 on maternity leave and 2 doing the work of 4.. I think they have enough to deal with in the form of drunks, shoplifters, car crime etc in this area. They go into school so we know a couple of them and they also have updates in the newssheets from the community wardens.

    A 14 year is a child, that's a fact, they are not young adults.
