Anger

Hi everyone 

I have a problem with Emotional Dysregulation, I get stuck on negative emotions especially Anger, I'm easily triggered over the smallest of things to the point I can scare people around me when I have an outburst.

I'm just wondering what causes others to get Angry especially full on outbursts and what does it look like when it happens 

Many thanks

  • I think that for autistics we do not recognise that frustration and anger are building up until it is too late and we explode. I explode, thankfully not often. I believe that it is quite frightening to witness. Once, when my then teenage daughter was being very disrespectful to her mother, I exploded and I'm sad to say that my daughter was so frightened by my rage that it took a good few days for her to trust me again. On the plus side the anger outburst is very short and I do not sulk or bear grudges.
