A therapist can help: You recognize your " rumbling stage" ; teach you self-calming techniques. Your insight ; motivation are impressive! effective therapies for people with asd's need to be intensive ; repetitive. Even as an adult, you'll benefit from knowing what events trigger your emotional over-reactions. Medications are part of treatment of adult adhd ; of irritability in asd.
