ABSTRACT
More seriously, there are two routes to anger management: either superficial and behavioural ways of managing difficult situations or finding ways within yourself to move on from being angry so you can manage the situations in a way that is less damaging to yourself and others. Anger itself is unavoidable and healthy: it gets things done and is a great agent for change. The frustration arising from unexpressed anger is a different kettle of fish, though: it indicates that the anger is not getting things done because it is not being channelled creatively. Anger can be specific or existential. Existential anger comes when the person is pissed off with everything. Specific anger comes when a person explodes because there is no milk in the fridge. However, no one is served by allowing the person with Asperger's to develop a violence habit, so police or psychiatric intervention may be the only resort, and early intervention is always better than late.
