If my child has asperger's syndrome, is violent behavior normal?

No: Children with Asperger syndrome have impairment with social interaction but are not violent.

Not really: No, violent behavior is not a primary symptom or behavior associated with asperger's syndrome. However, because part of Asperger syndrome is communication and socialization problems, as children age they often get frustrated and distressed about their relationship with others. Sometimes this leads to aggression and outbursts. But true violence is not a piece of asperger's.

Children with ASD : (autistic spectrum disorder, the current diagnosis for as) often have anxiety disorders & adhd that contribute to their emotional over-reactivity, but they can have other mental illnesses as well, like mood disorders. Seek diagnostic evaluation & medical management from a child psychiatrist & behavioral therapy from a child psychologist.
