Newbie in need of advice

Hi all

My son who is 15 was diagnosed with Asd back in August last year. He is a sensitive boy but is becoming very frustrated and angry of late and lately we (mum and step dad) feel like the enemy. Any tips on how to avoid fireworks when dealing with young male adults would be greatly appreciated
