Aspies tend to focus on topics of their peculiar interest and become very good at them.
So, perhaps instead of attempting to make sense out of the absurdity and illogical nature of neurotypicals, your aspie-sense of logic combined with a stern butt-whooping better explains their "disturbed" reaction.
Aspies come off as "rude, insensitive, etc." on adjectives and are not liked (while at the same time, passive, vulnerable, easy-prey, the underdog, the omega wolf... the patsy... the doormat, and that's "your place" in the social hierarchy, can't you see???) but us Aspies just aren't on that planet with their "pecking orders" and alpha/beta/omega heirarchies... and in brutal Aspie honesty / logic / very LITERAL analytical thinking... they're often correct and it "offends" the heck out of people. I guess even, "Wisdom from the mouths of babes," can apply here.

In this case, you sniffed out somebody who is over-sensitive, has anger-management issues and too quick-tempered and has a real deficit in the area of diplomacy. They wouldn't have came to insults had they been half as "correct" as they pretend to be. And with neurotypicals, keep in mind, its almost always about "pretending" to be what they're not. /*Sucks thumb* -- I'm always suppose to win but got my butt stomped on a public forum/
GOOD FOR THEM to learn a much-deserved lesson! and welcome.
