Hi there,

Anger, in relation to AS it seems, stems from threat(real or percieved) and extreme frustration. I get very angry and will lash out if someone touches my head. I HATE it. Unfortunately, as a child, and as children often do, it was used as a method to tease me.

The world and all its noise and bright lights makes me angry, stupidity makes me angry, conflict makes me angry, touch makes me angry if I didn't first ask for it, patronisation makes me angry......and the list goes on. In saying that, I am actually quite a nice person

Ask your husband about what makes him angry and he will tell you. Sometimes identifying the anger trigger is hard, but give him time to get to the point. At the same time, he also has a responsilbility to learn ways to cognitively process what is purely a neurological response to overwhelming stimuli. It takes two to tango, as the saying goes.

If you want to discuss this furhter I am happy to. I was dx, along with the AS, with an 'explosive disorder'....cant remember the exact name and despite this, I am still in one piece. I don't think that the level of anger I experience is necessarily true of all people with AS but not unusual......I am an anomoly amongst anomolies

Take care,

Michah
