Sons behavior

I have a 7 yr old son , soon too be 8 , his mother and I are going through a divorce , I also have a girlfriend with a 3 yr old  daughter , that being said when I get m son he is very rude and disrespectful and lies and calls people liars , and doesn't appreciate anything unless your spending lots of many on him . Academically  he is very bright but has these same issues  in school I've got a special worker that spends time with him in school and a mobile therapist and he is improving but still very troublesome when he's with me and my girlfriend. He can be and sometimes is very aggressive towards our little girl, he has trouble socializing , he crystal when he loses or can't get the grasp of a game or task , he needs to be the center of attention . His mother enables him . Is this a sign of Aspergers and if so how do I work with this . ? Because I've got to move out of my place with my girlfriend cause of the toxicity of the situation . Can you help

   If he has a special worker in school, he must have a diagnosis of some kind.  What does the school think is his problem?

He's in chaos.  

Has he always been very difficult,  or have these behaviors began since you got a girlfriend with a daughter that you call "our little girl"?

If he wasn't really difficult at the age of 3,  I think it's most likely he's reacting to your behaviors.

There are a lot of symptoms you have described that fall into a few categories.  Start by talking with your pediatrician and heed his/her advice.  Keep medical reports as these behaviors will not go away on their own if they are connected with a variety of conditions like Asperger's or other Psychological disorders.  Get help soon, success of behavior modification and social skills greatly depends on early interventions.
