Does Your Child Struggle With Anger Issues?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Franklin, IN

When I was around eight years old, I began to have anger issues. I had outbursts, would call people names, and would even hit others. It came to a head when I slapped my grandmother in front of my family. My mother took me to a therapist and after three or so months I was much better. She didn't conclude I was Autistic for some reason, but that's a whole other story.

My son avoids conflict. He only hits himself if he's stressed out & overwhelmed. He's never had any angry outbursts or anything like that. I try to keep a very positive, calm & relaxing environment for him at home. I don't take him out to public places (except he attends school) because he has an extremely difficult time. I am teaching him how to order what he needs through shopping apps for delivery. I am still learning about Autism & my son so that I can know how to help him, teach him, prepare him for living independently & parenting him. I talk to him about what I can do better & how to help him. He's been responding positively to that approach. I think that's helpful for him to not have to be in a position to be frustrated or angry.
