Some common causes of angry outbursts in people on the spectrum include:
- Other’s behavior (e.g., insensitive comments, being ignored)
- Intolerance of imperfections in others
- Having routines and order disrupted
- Difficulties with employment despite being intelligent in many areas
- A build-up of anxiety
- Being swamped by multiple tasks
- Sensory over-stimulation
- Relationship conflict
- your physical state (e.g., pain, tiredness)
- your mental state (e.g., existing frustration, confusion)
- the environment (e.g., too much stimulation, major changes of routine)
- how well (or poorly) you're being treated by co-workers
6. What’s the big goal? Identify why you would like to manage your anger more successfully. Identify what benefits you expect in everyday living from improving your anger-control skills.
- Stop and think before reacting to the situation (e.g., “My goal right now is to improve my ability to cope with anger when I am waiting in long lines”).
- Challenge your inaccurate or negative thoughts (e.g., “The service here is so inefficient. Why can’t they hurry up? I'm going to get pissed any moment now. WAIT. Stop thinking this!”).
- Create your new thought (e.g., “Everyone is probably aggravated by this long line – even the cashier serving us. I can either come back later, or I can wait here and think of something pleasant”).
