I have a 20 year old daughter. The youngest of 4 children. She is diagnosed with Asburger Syndrome and mild mentel retardation. Her speech is good and her eye contact is good. She hates lookng at herself in mirrors and photos. She hates hearing the word Autism and does not want to hear about her conditon in any way. Her social skills are terrible and she does not have close friends. Her obsessions keep her in her own world a lot of the time. I have been told she is at a 7 year old's level. When she is angry with her older sister or someone else in the family she will get very agressive and use bad words. She will kick, scream, scratch and bite. Break things, wreck her room and draw pictures. The pictures are of family members hurting other family members. The last time she did this she drew a picture of her older brother with a gun shooting me. Then she drew her other brother with a knife killing her sister. She drew her grandmother (my husband's mother) giving poison to her father. This is so scarey. She has not gone for sharp objects or knives but I am worried this will get worse and she will act out her drawings. She can be so wonderful at times but the violent behaviour is geing worse.
