    We have found the incredible 5 point scale to be great as it helps my son communicate "how" angry he is and express himslef so others will listen when is not coping with a situation or the environment around him.  A Volcano in my Tummy is also a useful book to dip in and out of.

    I agree with previous posts too that trying to find out as many of the triggers as possible and avoiding or adapting the environment for him works for us.

    It's tough on him and you.  Keep strong and you will get there.
