My child has been rejected by his peers, ridiculed and bullied !!!
Social rejection has devastating effects in many areas of functioning. Because the ASD child tends to internalize how others treat him, rejection damages self-esteem and often causes anxiety and depression. As the child feels worse about himself and becomes more anxious and depressed – he performs worse, socially and intellectually.

How to Prevent Meltdowns in Children on the Spectrum
Meltdowns are not a pretty sight. They are somewhat like overblown temper tantrums, but unlike tantrums, meltdowns can last anywhere from ten minutes to over an hour. When it starts, the Asperger's or HFA child is totally out-of-control. When it ends, both you and your child are totally exhausted. But... don’t breathe a sigh of relief yet. At the least provocation, for the remainder of that day -- and sometimes into the next - the meltdown can return in full force.

Parenting Defiant Teens on the Spectrum
Although Aspergers [high-functioning autism] is at the milder end of the autism spectrum, the challenges parents face when disciplining a teenager on the spectrum are more difficult than they would be with an average teen. Complicated by defiant behavior, the teen is at risk for even greater difficulties on multiple levels – unless the parents’ disciplinary techniques are tailored to their child's special needs.

Parenting Children and Teens with High-Functioning Autism
Two traits often found in kids with High-Functioning Autism are “mind-blindness” (i.e., the inability to predict the beliefs and intentions of others) and “alexithymia” (i.e., the inability to identify and interpret emotional signals in others). These two traits reduce the youngster’s ability to empathize with peers. As a result, he or she may be perceived by adults and other children as selfish, insensitive and uncaring.

keep regement going, dont give in. they learn that by giving a temper tantrum they eventually get what they want and if you let them keep doing it, the temper part.. they eventually wear down and get tired.. or sometimes use reward system, I will let you have this if you do this first. get your dirty clothes to the washer, pick up your room.. etc etc
My 5yr old has us under his thumb, I guess up to now we have found it easier to give in as his tantrums are soooo bad! I'm the 1st to say this hasn't worked :o( have on occasion said "if u do this/that ul get a treat" then the minute he gets the treat he's back to the tantrum with more force. At the end of our tether. Can't sit him on a step/in a corner he just gets up and throws things. Won't stay in his room, if forced he trashes it, and to get some headspace I've locked myself in my room in the past only he has kicked the door so hard it now won't close :o/
And when he's not having a tantrum he demands constant attention, can't leave the room without him following, and even then its constant "mum? Mum? Mum? mum? Mum? Mum? Mum?" Non stop all day. :o(

my 12 year old demands hugs from me consistently. Sometimes 5 minutes within each other. Most of the time to show affection but other times he demands a hug as a way to get me to forgive him for something he was not supposed to do. I need some help here as this is extremely exhausting at times especially when he is having an emotional meltdown.
