"My son (high functioning autistic) is now 13 ...he was diagnosed
at the age of 8. All of a sudden he is acting out, cussing all the time,
lying, being disrespectful and verbally abusive, and has an overall
grumpy attitude. Are these years the hardest, or is this just the
beginning? When he finally hits puberty, will things get better?"

My son is 11 and we are starting to have some 'disrespect' issues. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's normal tween hormones, or part of the Aspergers. Hang tough! We are taking away is favorite things, like his DS.
My son is 10 and having attitude & disrespect issues as well. Remember their 'authority' issues come into play - I take away his ps3 - that usually works.
My son is 14 and disrespect is a huge problem and he just doesnt care he tells me take away everything I dont care and he deosnt but @Mitze I feel the same way cant tell if its Aspergers or acting up teenager. hes very angry and has braces and refuses to brush his teeh he tells me I wasted my money some days Im at my wits end.
my daughter was diagnosed same as your son. what i have learned....it may be a lie to us, but it is reality to them. they see things in black and white much like a young child, and cannot handle abstract thinking. therefore, if it is said, it did happen. therefore, it is important to stick to the facts when dealing with them. experience tells me it is going to get worse before it gets better. the cussing is probably frustration and rebellion. good luck!
My 14 yr old was diagnosed 4 yrs ago as Aspergers. One recommendation is seeking a child psychiatrist and look into rispidol. It is prescribed for irritability in autistic persons. It has made a night and day difference in his outbursts and frequency of "meltdowns." I am not usually an advocate of medication... but this one certainly has made a difference.
I think that is more to be caused by adolescence than Aspergers.
My lad is 13 n puberty has hit hard n he is like the devils child when he has meltdowns.....ten times worse than when he was younger.
When myson. Turned 12 i actually took him off all his meds abd he did great for almost two years. Even getting straight a at school. Then he suddenly began lying and angry all the time. The doc blamed it on puberty. I refused to believe it and fought with him for months until he became suicidal and homicital. I finally gave in and put him back on meds and he is back to his old self. No lying gettinv great grades no suicidal thoughts and even talking about a future living on his own. He will be 16 in feb. The doc blames changing hormones and im now left to agree with him. Good luck. Were all fighting the same battles
My son is 17 now but until very recently we went thru some dark times. When he was around 12 he began going thru puberty and things got really rough. He started having more outbursts, horrible depression, and had more trouble at school with bullying when he entered jr high. He had always been picked on but things took a harsher more mature turn. He started having more sensory issues due to the florescent lighting and noise on the bus. A lot of these things I didn't know until after the fact. He was in such distress after school every day that I ended up home schooling him and that's when he finally made me aware of and helped me understand what was happening on a daily basis. It was sad and disturbing. So my advice is to be firm but very very patient. Try to remember what puberty was like for all of us and then imagine what it would be like with all the "extra" things aspergers brings to the table. It is an extremely turbulent few years but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep fighting the fight because the prize is worth more than gold! <3
My son gets extremely angry and disrespectful when asked to stop playing anot Xbox farming game.
He is 11 and extremely intelligent.
But so not nice when set off!
