Emotional regulation

Hi everyone! 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some advice please. I didn’t realise that I was autistic until my late teens. I have always struggled with regulating my emotions. I seem to feel everything to the strongest extreme, meaning I lash out frequently at my family and become aggressive, shouting, crying etc. I really don’t want to behave this way, as I am now an adult and wish there were some coping mechanisms I could put in place to cope with my emotions better. Does anyone have any tried and tested tips please? The last thing I want to do is hurt the people that are supporting me the most, but I find that when I’m at home my tolerance level for everything disappears. I love my family very much and really wish to stop hurting them and have a peaceful household again. Please help.
