one kid who really scares me at school

hi,

i was thinking recently about one expirience i had at school with a peer who was a low functioning aspie. this guy was really scary to be around (violent when asked or told something) and definately something wasn't right (i was really uncomfortable talking to him by the time he left the school; to the point of anxiety). my friend talks about him constantly, since they are friends. any advice on how to either tell him to stop or to just not pay attention? thanks.
 
I'd be pretty nervous too! Would it be out of place to talk to his parents? They might know how to communicate with him in some way that wouldn't set him off. Along the same lines, you could find out from them if it'd be better to receive tips from a peer or his parents. Maybe he's just grouchy or that's how he is with people he doesn't know well. I'd also talk with your mutual friend some too and see if they have an tips.
 
I would make the conversation 1-1 in a public place. Like don't have this individual at your place, and don't be at his place. Keep everything in public places and during the day. You could consider writing a letter, as it would give him time to think about a response too if one was even needed.
