Do aspies feel anger?

Yes, although my patience has gotten better, in some areas, its gotten worse (driving, for example (usually alone)).

Even with my anger I'd be careful not to have road-rage problems, I'd be worried bout getting shot. People are terrible out there nowadays, no matter if you start it or not.

Ain't no one going to shoot me in Calgary.. well, I shouldnt say that, but everyone here is so slow and cautious I couldnt dream of them commiting a crime past J-Walking (which they do with a passion but cars stop for them like they are supposed to - drives me nuts (I'll run them down ))

I feel frustration more then I feel anger. I usually get angry when I lose something and get obsessed about it. When I am in a difficult conversation with my parents I don't think I would describe what I feel as anger so much as frustration or annoyance. Sometimes people say: "You must have been angry," but that doesn't really sound like the correct description of my emotions.

ADDENDUM: I feel brief moments of anger when I am interrupted from something that I am doing. Usually they subside immediately more of an annoyance.

Yes I feel anger.

I am quite a laid back person but can get wound up and angry very easily over the smallest of things lol.

I have a lot of patience, so it takes a lot to get me angry, but I do feel anger once I'm pushed over the limit. Even so, I've learned to control my temper so people don't even know when I'm angry half the time.

Ok, this happens to me, too.

I'm fairly mellow (I think)...but is the anger just waiting to burst out when it get's the chance? I mean, I'll take what people dish out...but then it just builds and builds and I surpress it....then I snap.

I used to be VERY angry as a child, because that was an emotion that would get my "point across". Of course it was loud and scary coming from a child...but that's how it was.

Now, when I get TRULY angry...and I'm trying to "use my words"...I...speak...very...SLOWLY...and...SOFTLY...so...my...mouth...doesn't...go...ahead...of...my...brain....and...I...don't...scare...the...NT's.

Of course it scares ME sometimes...but I just explain it to people like this, "I have 35 years of pent up anger inside of me....and I've never been in a fight. I fear for the person that wants to go to fisticuffs with me." Scary.

Not sure how you peeps define anger but I get angry rarely but when
I do I shake and slur my speech and logic center competely fails.
I have an adrenaline respone and then it fight or flight baby!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!! !! !! !! ! What a stupid moronic question! *throwing bill gates at sugarbabe*

Anger is my "main" emotion. People used to push me on purpose to get me mad because I guess they thought it was funny.... that was until they realized I could easily beat them up. I'm a woman and I can easily take down a grown man. My mom says that if you took it personaly I was a very mean baby.

I was worse as a child. Maybe because I felt traped all the time. My mother never let me tell her about things she did not agree to or belive in or want to hear. And because I was always forced to do things I did not want to do.

I think I might have bi polar along with Asperger's because I actualy crave hitting people or biting them.

If people don't take me seriously (witch they often don't) or disrespect me to my face, they better watch out.

wtf?

I am so angry that if i were force i'd be sith

I get very angry quite often, I usually let go of it though because it ruins my day. I used to get into a lot of fights as a kid, I hadn't learned to let go of it yet at that age.

When I was younger I was known for having a short fuse, but I was able to temper this going into my early teenage years. It came to the point where it was near impossible to offend me. A couple of months back however and I had a massive blow-out where I had to be restrained, which for my body size took a hell of a lot! Since then, I've tried to not let my emotions be as bottled up but its hard to drop years of habits.

Do we get angry?! &#$@ YEAH! Meltdowns are one of the things we're famous for. I still feel that even though I know what it is and know better. I have to consciously think my way around and through it; a normal person usually doesn't have to.

Oh yes some of us can get very angry and have a hard time emotionally regulating ourselves, others are better at handling it. And some of us get very argumentative and get into debates that are a bit heated. We're not exempt at all from feelings... just how we may express them varies.
