Aspergers and violence go together in many cases. I know A guy with a kid that has it. He says the kid gets violent when he does not get his way, and that he gets worse as he ages.
“Kids (and adults) with Aspergers are prone to frustration, anger – and sometimes violence. The rapidity and intensity of anger, often in response to a relatively trivial event, can be extreme. When feeling angry, the child with Aspergers does not appear to be able to pause and think of alternative strategies to resolve the situation. There is often an instantaneous physical response without careful thought. When the anger is intense, the youngster with Aspergers may be in a blind rage and unable to see the signals indicating that it would be appropriate to stop.”

That pretty well describes that friend of mine.
I certainly hope that nothing ever sets her off in a major way. She’s nice enough most of the time, and she can be genuinely sweet-natured. But when she gets irritated or frustrated by something or another, look out.
Is it a sustained anger?
Can it go on long enough to complete this sort of action.
