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.

  • I’ve definitely made my mum feel as though I’m shouting at when I feel as though I’m talking firmly or raising my voice to make something clear to her or have annoyance from her.  Honestly I’m struggling to know how to handle it myself, but from what I understand always try and stay calm when you can, take the patience to ask what’s wrong and talk through what’s going on in his head and try to be considerate.  He’s probably going through periods of depression, loneliness, anxiety, frustration, etc.

    My experience with my attitudes towards me feeling as though my mother is talking to/treating me like a little kid or holding me back from certain freedoms/opportunities.  So I can see if this helps you out at all, pls get back to me if you’ve tried already
