[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 484542"] I'd bet there is more to his frustration than listed. The little things that pile up during the day... the sun glare off so and so's desk is too bright, so and so is wearing a shirt in a color I hate and sitting right in my line of sight, lunch didn't taste great so I didn't eat all of it and now I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, too hot/too cold, my clothes are itchy, the seam isn't sitting right, my left shoe is tighter than my right shoe... you get the idea. Getting "minor" annoyances down in overall level helps him to be able to think instead of just react when bigger annoyances hit. Has he been checked for any kind of sensory disorders that could be causing higher overall levels of frustration (or do you already know/suspect he has them)? It can sound petty to someone with no experience, but seriously I will re-tie my shoes several times during the workday (which is to say about once an hour) just because one has become slightly looser than the other. Then that one is tighter and I have to retie the other one to match. If that alone, which wouldn't bother most people, continues, I will become even more irritable and snappish than usual (and I'm naturally short on patience to begin with). [/QUOTE]
