It's tough when they're young and almost impossible when they go through puberty but it does get better.I think their minds just run a little behind and they have to get to the next level in their own time. My son has was first treated for depression and OCD in second grade and finally Aspergers at 13. We finally accepted that whatever normally works for a typical kid won't work for an Aspergers. I think you just have to take one step at a time or you'll drive yourself crazy.
I can understand his rage. No one understands why they're different, especially a kid. My son is now 20 and has learned to appreciate being different. There are new challenges be he's developing coping skills. A good psychiatrist is vital and perhaps a school for kids on the spectrum, but you'll get there. Best of luck.
