How Can Asperger S Syndrome Be Treated?

We are raising our grandson who has turned 18 and is a senior. He has Asperger s and refuses to see a psychiatrist. He would not go to an appointment that I made for him. Being 18 there was nothing I could do. His anger scares us and know he needs help. Any suggestions? Just sent a question but forgot e-mail.
