Is spontaneous yelling/screaming when frustrated ASD thing?

Post Reply New Topic

When I'm in an argument I've found that if the other person keeps cutting me out I get frustrated easily and yell out at the top of my lungs. The other day my brother kept saying I shouldn't have motor skill problems and the old "you're not trying hard enough" BS. The more I tried to open my mouth the more I got cut out. I quickly got frustrated and screamed out "I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN"
without thinking. Other forms of frustration can make me prone to yelling/screaming. I also yell out more than others when I get a jump/shock. Is this an ASD thing?

It's not an ASD thing. It's a frustration thing.

It's frustrating when people don't listen to you. This happens to me all the time.

I'm usually a pretty calm/cool/collected type----but when people don't bother listening to me, I get frustrated, and I might yell (especially to my wife).

I'd say it could be.

While I don't *think* I tend to quite get to the point of yelling or screaming, one of the things that eventually led to my diagnosis was the someone with an autistic child told me that the way I get frustrated when having trouble explaining something is very similar to the way his child does.
