I am on the autism spectrum i think.........

last night i came back home under the influence of alcohol since i went out drinking with my friends. i was greeted by my parents. my mother said something which i did not like and i started getting agressive towards her (not physical) but verbally. my dad stepped into help and we ended up getting into a physical fight and we were rolling around on the floor. i ventually just backed off to end the fight.

its weird becuase i have been well behaved at home recently but do you think it was just a moment of madness on my part maybe caused by alcohol?

I am 21, my dad is 52 going on 53 and my mother is 52 :(

I am quite an angy young man and have a short fuse

Alcohol can make some people happy and social, and others aggressive and disturbed. Or as my dad calls it, "instant a**hole, just add alcohol". Considering you could have been arrested for domestic violence had they called the cops, I suggest you quit while you are ahead.

True, but if you drink, you then have a judgment problem too, so you will have a problem controlling yourself. That's one of the big reasons why I don't drink.

Yeah usually i am a happy drunk but i guess if someone pisses me off when under the influence i can really fly of the handle worse than if i was completely sober. overwise i feel very happy and chilled when under the influence.

mind you i was not really that drunk last night only a bit :?

I have to agree, you are very lucky you didn't get arrested. Your parents did you a huge favor. I would strongly suggest you find out why your mother was so upset and address the concerns. Also, some serious apologizing is in order AND you need to find out how to get your anger under control.

Are you diagnosed ASD or Aspergers? If you are, 'The Real World' will not like your anger, you are likely to get labeled psychotic or schizophrenic. Those are labels you can do without if you are ASD. Remember, they don't call crazy people 'mad' for no reason.
