Getting Angry

Hi,

I am not certain that this is the best section for this but I have a few questions and would be really appreciative if someone could help? I am 20 years old and have recently been assessed for autism and I am awaiting their decision. 

Sometimes I can become really angry really quickly. I feel as though I lose control and want to hit something and want to scream. I can cry, lie on the floor, curl up and become very very frustrated. They have been worse recently. When they happen I hate it and I feel guilty after but at the time I am so wrapped up in what is happening and really feel like I can't come out of it. I know this behaviour is unacceptable. So my questions are:

  • Do people with autism have episodes like this or is this just me not being able to control myself?
  • If anyone else does have them, what do you do to help you come out of the situation and calm down?

Thank you so much for reading my questions, I really hope that someone can help enlighten me.

Thank you :)

  • Yes, my husband is like that.  It all started same as what you feel, then it progressed by banging tables, breaking objects,  shouting extremely loud now it is at the stage where he is beating me ( his wife who is always by his sides nomatter what).

    He is 50 years old now you are younger please get help now.  My husband's parents were very hard on him, they always blame him for stuff.  They never listened to him. 

  • Hi 87487, I am Number.

    I am worried for you.  You describe your husband "progressing" with his violence.  What comes next?

    Being autistic is no excuse for being violent against another person in my opinion.

    It is kind of you to post your warning to other younger folk, but PLEASE don't be resigned to the situation that you find yourself in.  There will be a solution and/or resolution to HIS problem......but if he won't pursue that solution, PLEASE don't allow it to become YOUR undoing.

    You have my sympathy and I wish you the very best.

    Kind regards (and get yourself safe!)
