My Son is so angry sometimes

matty19

My son is 21 with ADHD and Aspergers. He wants to be a normal young man but struggles sometimes with friends etc.. He has a very violent temper, ( he has had from when he was a child-but then we could hold him to protect him against hurting himself and property). Now he's over 6ft and its like a switch being flipped, one minute he's fine, the next he's physically attacking my husband and his younger brother-he's never touched me I might add. He's so sad afterwards and its like he can't help it, but i'm not sure. Its worse when he's had a drink, and he knows this but he doesn't seem to know when to stop anything, drinking, talking, argueing,eating...so its hard work. Is there counselling out there that could help? I'm not sure if "normal" anger management classes would take into account his Aspergers.

He wants to get help, he needs help before he seriousily hurts someone.

any suggestions

  • Indeed.....there is a really worrying situation with those finishing college or university courses.

    The employment situation for graduates is very variable, some finding it very difficult to get jobs after graduating. For someone affected by autism it is that much harder.

    So many young people with autism who flourish during post-school education, because there is less intervention and less constricting peer relationships, and ability to manage day-to-day environment, they may do quite well - then it finishes, and so do their prospects.

    For many any benefit of FE or HE qualifications is dashed.

    And this sorry Government is putting a guilt complex and blame culture on disabled people over not finding work, but while it goes out of their way to undermine them, does nothing to improve the culture of workplaces that makes it so hard. Oh yes there's Disability Confident - potentially a great idea but too little too late and ill-informed, and it depends on the DWP to implement it, well that's a certainty of disaster.

    And that's after meddling and reorganising compulsory education to cause much suffering to young people. Meddling to dismantle state schools, and meddling to undermine the welfare state, irresponsible meddling all the time. That's public schools for you....

    Sorry .... but why am I bringing public schools into this? Well they can select and most avoid taking on disabled students. So they know least about disability.

    And this Coalition Government is full of Public School Boys, who know the very least about disability and education. So why are they meddling in things they patently do not understand?
