Hi, hope all of you are well. 
I am a teen and I am really struggling, I will detail it here.

So basically my Mum’s friend is a constant nuisance as she asks stupid questions that are very easy to answer and it essentially shows she knows nothing. She’s been doing it for a while now. I always try to help as best I can but I’m very direct as I get very annoyed. These arguments/heated conversation for an hours. Today we had an argument and another of my mums friends absolutely lost it. When she lost it I got the angriest I’ve got in a while resulting in me breaking things and smashing a cake into the ground. I didn’t know what to do. 

Is it normal (bearing in mind I am autistic) for me to break things and be one of the angriest people any of my family know?

Is it normal to care too much about what people think of me?

Is it normal for me to always react?

Is it normal for me to care too much about things in general?

Please let me know!

  • your mums friend should know to stop....... i have a done a similar thing myself ( triggered a meltdown in a fellow autistic ) and now I stop to give the other person time to recover  and  so that they dont meltdown.

    hopefully she now knows its affecting u more and will not argue as much........ some people love arguing 

    count secretly on ur fingers the number of argument replies u have to use,,, and u stop at speaking at 5 say ,,,,, no matter what   ... eg      go to the loo  ... leave the room and check ur phone for stuff
