"I know I'm at my worst when people around me don't understand me and do not even seem to be trying to understand me; I find it a strain to behave well if I need someone's attention and they are ignoring me; I feel stressed when an expectation, a hope, or a plan I have is dashed due to things outside of my control, when I'm expected to achieve something I find impossible, or when I'm in a situation I can no longer tolerate. When your child acts out in frustration, it is probably due to similar circumstances."
