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.
