My brother aged 37 years, autistic

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

Hello doctor, My family is under immense stress due to anger outbursts by my brother aged 37, unmarried. He was diagnosed as autistic when he was 5. The anger outbursts started sometime around his teenage years and over a period of time, it has taken a violent turn as he is physically assaulting other people who are not his family members. We have never been able to comprehend the reason for these sudden outbursts. He dislikes certain people at certain times and targets them. Need your guidance
