Anger Management book advice please

Profsparks

Hi all.

A couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with ASD, I'm 51 in April.

It explains almost everything, yet changes almost nothing.

I divorced my wife of thirteen years last July, and am finding it hard to deal with my residual anger toward her. I see my kids occasionally, but as they remain a link to her, I'm afraid they will get the brunt of my feelings.

Can anyone recommend a book on how to think round my issues please?

There seems to be a wide range of literature available to choose from, but too much choice is too much.

Thanks in advance

Steve

    Hi Profsparks

    i was given a book on anger management a while before I was diagnosed with autism at age 56. The main point of the book was that the only person that suffers with anger is the person who is angry. It is a completely futile emotion to use. Somehow the book had 100 pages of verbiage but contained no further insight than the essential point that anger is pointless.

    Undiagnosed autism leads to high divorce rates because we can be incomprehensible and impossible to deal with. Did your wife suspect that you had autism or was she completely unaware and did she try to deal with you as a non-autistic person? Why are you angry with her?
