Is this a typical trait?

Post Reply New Topic

Is blowing up and getting angry over small things that most people would not think about a typical trait of aspergers? or is it just our inability to smell the roses like NT's do?

I find this is effecting very badly and don't know what to do about it? It could be linked to behaviour problems.

I think most people say that aspergers is no 'excuse' for bad behaviour.

It doesn't if we don't know what the boundaries are in different situations and contexts, though of course, as one gets older, we slowly become accustomed to the unwritten rules (and sometimes even the "written" ones!) of this alien world.

Please give an example of what you would get angry over.

It's typical of me when I am extremely stressed and in scared-animal mode. So I'd say the Asperger's/autistic trait of not being able to withstand stress encompasses an angry reaction, which is really a reflexive scared reaction to keep away what some part of your mind thinks is dangerous.

I might get angry over things like my communicaiton and small talk problems or even my awkward gait.

I think what your referring to OP is a meltdown. It is a fairly common Aspie characteristic. I had lots of em myself but I've gotten a lot better than I was
