Just wanted to post a quick thank you before I head to work! He made it through recess without incident!!!! After the Aspergers idea came up I checked out a book at the library and used some of the suggestions on how to communicate social skills to a child with Aspergers. He had a picture of himself with his hands in his pockets labeled "I keep my hands to myself and not on my friends" that he took to school. We also picked up a children's book on anger management and talked about taking a time out if he was overwhelmed. I had multiple activities in his backpack to distract/deflect his attention if he became agitated.
THANK YOU for ALL of your suggestions. It may be a small victory but I couldn't be happier.
