9 Aspergers Temperaments

http://www.myaspergerschild.com/2008/04/aspergers-meltdowns-how-to-cope.html

Another great article that I found. After reviewing all the temperaments I think my son most fits this one:

High intensity level temperament moves the child to yell, scream, or hit hard when feeling threatened.



As you can imagine it makes for a rather volatile environment. He yells a lot (thankfully more than he hits, but that does happen some times too). I'm constantly having to remind him not to holler at me or at his sister and others.

Preperation for Hurricane Irene

http://blog.autismspeaks.org/2011/08/26/hurricane-irene-how-to-prepare/

This is a great link for those on the East Coast preparing for Hurricane Irene who are also dealing with a child on the autism spectrum.

Praying for everyone one the East Coast. We may live in GA now but I lived in NC for 28 years and my heart goes out to everyone who is being affected by Hurricane Irene.
