I don’t know I shout

  • Hi my son is 18 with aspergers, he is having difficulties with knowing when he is raising his voice to people which causing both them and him distress. Does anyone else have this difficulty and have any suggestions/strategies that they have used to help with this? I am new to the forum and would be grateful for any advice.

  • No idea to be honest, but replying because I’m interested in the answers from others. I have been told I speak in a very monotone voice.  But there’s been lots of occasions in the past when I’ve been shouting or come across as very intense and I’ve had absolutely no idea myself than I’m doing it or have communicated like this.  It’s got me into a lot of trouble at times and caused so much anger and frustration because I haven’t known I’ve done it, and sometimes don’t believe I have so I haven’t been able to take the criticism.
