Parent here looking for some advice.
I have a 14 year old son with Asperger's syndrome. He also deals with quite a bit of anger issues and has had a number of violent outbursts in the past (most recently him beating the shit out of his 11 year old nephew for teasing our dog). He just started high school this year and he is begging me to let him join the school boxing club (functions year round) and the wrestling team (only winter). I'm just wondering if this may help channel his anger a little bit into something more positive or is this just an accident waiting to happen?

You fucked up by having a kid so late in life. The older you get, the greater the chances of having a kid with Aspergers, so this is essentially your fault.

Why don't you try looking for a specialist like a doctor, a psychiatrist or something instead of a bunch of random horny strangers on an anonymous imageboard?

No. We had our oldest son when I was 21 and wife was 18. My 14 year old we had in my 30's. His older brother on the other hand was 16 and a dad

This is free.

Again, the older you get, the greater the chance of of autism. I believe it's linked more to the father's age than the mother's too. Since you were nearing your late 30s when he was born, this really is on you.

Lol you still haven't answered my question. Would boxing and wrestling be good for him? Or would it just make his violence harder to handle?

The fuck am I supposed to know? What am I, a fortune teller?

It's difficult to say. It really does help some people, but it really does make others more dangerous. Predicting which type your son will be is very, very difficult. Not the sort of speculation people who don't know him well, like us, should be indulging in.

What I recommend would be to have him take a judo class -judo, not jujutsu- for a year, and watch him carefully. If this goes well, then let him join the clubs (or continue with this class).

The reason I suggest judo is that martial arts and other fighting styles tend to run on a sliding scale of pragmatism vers philosophy, and judo runs a lot harder toward the philosophical end of the scale than boxing or Greco-Roman wrestling (or jujutsu, which is why I mentioned not confusing it with judo). This will slow down his advancement to some degree, giving you more time to notice if this turns out not to be such a good idea. But more importantly, the heavier emphasis on philosophy may also give him some of the tools he needs to mitigate his anger without lashing out or blowing off steam.
