One of the hallmarks of adhd is this type of anger. it does have to do a lot with emotional regulation issues but IMO it is something with both a physical sort of cause and behavioral sort of cause. I think its also something that can sometimes remain in check-almost like remission and then flare up when triggered.


Dealing with Anger in Teens with ADHD: Advice for Parents
My problem is that they are treating his adhd, which is neurodivegence, as bad behavior and trying to punish it to fix it, instead of help him deal with it in a healthy way.

I do think the AD he is on is particularly problematic as well.
