Time-outs can be effective. Depending on your child's age and attention span, time-outs can vary from just a couple of minutes to up to 10 minutes. Make sure to be firm and consistent with your child. Positive reinforcement for good behavior is also very effective.

Focus on behaviors you want to obtain rather than those you don't and use reward systems. Use a chart with stars. Each desirable behavior gets a star. Then reward certain numbers of stars with rewards, 5 stars = a piece of candy, 10 stars = an outing, etc. Be sure goals are attainable and rewards are what he likes.

The best method I have used and seen is "The Incredible 5 Point Scale" by Buron and Curtis. You will be able to find this book easliy by doing a search on Amazon or any other book site. This method, using a colorful scale, helps children with Asperger's have a way to understand and appropriately express themselves.
