Sounds like you have a teenager on your hands. A teenager with Autism, but a teenager none the less. Is he your first/only child? It's normal for kids this age to test the boundaries and autistic kids are no exception.

I agree with Miriavas here. Teenagers with autism tend to be more aggressive because they're not always good at controlling their emotions that's why they say it is probably one of the hardest times for an parent and for the child. I believe if you set strong rules from early and try to reinforce them, he will have no choice but to conform.

Having raised five teens I can tell you that this is something that all kids go through. My youngest is 16 going on 17 and I am glad we are almost done. We set rules with specific punishments and enforced them. It is not easy raising teens as they try to stretch the rules and become adults. I can tell you that as they learn and want more freedom it gets harder to keep them safe. Sometimes you have to let them fall and get hurt so that they understand that your there to help them. As they get out of school and get into the real world and then tell you that they are glad of how you helped them it is all worth it.

Do not worry about a few angry words here and there. They are not going to be the only ones you hear.
