The thing with Asperger's is that the person affected can find everyday situations; tasks and objects a lot harder to cope with. It's because our brains are wired slightly differently and we lack some of the social skills that neurotypical (people without AS) have from a very young age.

It is also important to understand that we are unable to express our emotions and how we are feeling to others, and for some, anger is their own frustration at their feelings and the way in which they are perceiving the current situation.

The way in which many people with an autistic spectrum disorder see the world can also affect the way they react to "little" things. People with an ASD (such as Asperger's or Low Functioning Autism) tend to see things in a black or white scenario - there is no in-between.

I think the best thing you can do is find ways to cope with angry outbursts or to help your husband resolve his situation. I suppose you could even sit him down and tell him your concerns, discussing how you could maybe help him during these difficult times. He isn't angry because he's a bad person, or because he's annoyed at you...but more he's annoyed at the frustration and inability to cope that he may be experiencing.

Best of luck ♥
