Aggression in adults

Lucy


Hi!

I really struggle with my emotions, in particular anger. I can’t seem to control my anger at all. It will be over small things and usually out of frustration. I was wondering if anyone had found a way of coping with anger as an adult and if there are any groups/therapies that are helpful in this area as it’s beginning to effect my relationships with my family/friends/partner.

thanks!

  • I think this is a common autistic thing. I worry about it alot myself, I think we are in a similar boat. I am generally a kind, caring person but sometimes I can just feel so angry and full of hate and it can last for days or weeks. I think as autistic people it is very difficult to regulate our emotions and we feel more extreme emotions, both good and bad.

    One thing I have learnt though is that what we think of as anger is often just an autistic meltdown at a stressful situation or something that triggers us. Once we realise its not actually anger but a meltdown its easier to control it and work out stratagies to cope with it
