        My anger is medical and largely untreatable, and after dealing with it for more than 4 decades I am sure I could write a scholarly thesis as to why it is destructive and a second one on the harm well meaning people cause when they give unsolicited advice.

          I have two children on the spectrum one of which needs heavy assistance. Both are medicated and have been through numerous therapies. I’ll tell you the same thing I tell them. Autism does not entitle you to be an asshole.

          I have more than intimate experience helping people like you navigating your challenges. My oldest son has severe anger issues related to Asperger’s and ODD. Neither of those things entitle him to be an asshole.

          Get over yourself.
