Every week in the media there seems to be a sensationalist article out connecting Autism to Aggression. Many people can be Aggressive, but when its someone who happens to be autistic, the connection is often made as if the two always go together.
To say aggression just comes with Autism can often be a false perception. It can happen, and to help everyone involved we must always look into the reasons why.
Here are some great blogs by autistic people, and articles which will help you understand, and perhaps even resolve if aggression is an issue in your family :

Autistic Insights on Aggression, meltdowns and self injury
Adult Responses to Autistic children lead to Esculation or calm
Violent and challenging behaviour : The basics
How anxiety leads to disruptive behaviour
