My 5 year old gets so angry

Donna

Hi. I am new here, my 5 year old has recently been diagnosed with ASD and I am trying to work out how I help him process things.

He gets so angry all the time. It's his first response to nearly all scenarios. He doesn't typically try to hurt himself or anyone else but he shouts/screams/growls and can be quite vicious with his words. 

I would really appreciate any advice in how I help him work through these feelings and get to a point where anger is not his first response. 

We also really struggle to do any reading with him at home. One moment he is reading really nicely, the next he is having a full meltdown for what seems like no reason.

  • It can get to us if we are constantly being pushed to do things, concept that it might be useful or needed later in life, develops a lot later

    and if we hear only negatives, that we do this or that wrong, we will be grumpy in presence of others, 

    and we need time alone, 

    and we do not like to talk about our feelings, because it's reliving bad moments, and from our perspectives after others hear it all they give us no solution, so to satisfy curiosity of others, we have to go through hell
