aspergers and violent thoughts and behaviors

A four year old male with behavioral characteristics of Aspergers, has violent outbursts at home but is appropriate at school.  He has injured a pet and hears voices that tell him to hurt his Mom.  He has an average I.Q.   Any ideas or suggestions?  He's not my child but a preschool student at a school where my daughter works.  I'm am fascinated that such a young child sounds like a serial killer in the making.

Thank You,
Patty

Yes, I agree he needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist or start with a pediatrician.

My only suggestion would be psychiatric help.
