I am ready to be told if I was wrong!

DS1 has been at my mums for the entire school holidays, His choice.
He came back Monday just gone and within 5 minutes was his usual self.
Prior to the holidays he shredded his laces in his school shoes and demanded I
went and got him new shoes, I didn't I bought him new laces.There was nothing wrong with them and still isn't.
He is now threatening to cut them up unless I buy him new ones before Tuesday.

He refused to go to school the 2 days this week he should have because I wouldn't
buy him new shoes. I ended up telling the school the real reason for his absense rather than
covering him.

This morning he got up and wanted to control the TV Now, I wanted and did watch the royal wedding.
His way of dealing with this was shouting, screaming and tantruming.

I reacted by following out my threat from yesterday, that if he did not change his attitude I would
a- get the internet barred on his mobile
b- empty his room
c- stop him going fishing on Sunday.

He has 2 days to redeem himself to go fishing on Sunday.

I have barred the internet and have also took his tv, dvd, ps2 and ds away.

He has continued to shout etc and trashed his room.

Ok I know he has aspergers, BUT should I have not done this and let him continue to be
rude or was I right in what I have done and the shoe issue?

I should add that mum said at hers although not on the same scale she had to deal with a few
strops from him.

Sorry my internet connection is very poor so I am spending a lot of time offline.

Some very good advice on here, in fact it is all good advice.

I will talk to him tomorrow when he comes home from my mums, he went today as he didn't want to go to the coast and we had been planning the trip for 2 weeks so he was prepared but when it came down to it he had a meltdown about going.

Anyway I have this meeting on Tuesday with the school - Again, they will look to me for the answers and I end up frustrated because although I have briought him up I can't tell them how to deal with him in certain situations as he is different at home than he is in school.

Colditz, he says he hasn't been picked on - this was the first thing I asked and generally he does tell me if he has been.

Cheery, good luck with it all!!! It took me a long time and a lot of advice from MN to actually get the Diagnosis which was long overdue.

Al1son, I will try that idea as I think it would work as he would be able to see things clearer.

Ellen, I set a time of a week for his tv/dvd but longer for the ps2 and internet on his phone. the only reason for this is he uses his tv when he is struggling to sleep - so although I feel wrong for doiing this he does need to know his behaviour is unacceptable.
