Depends. I don't agree when people yell ''get over it!'' when you are going through something big, or something big has happened to you. You're entitled to have emotions, they say Aspies bottle their emotions up and not tell people then when they do people they're told to ''get over it''. I find that insensitive. People should also understand that a lot of things can seem daunting to an Aspie that might not seem as daunting to an NT. People should put themselves in the shoes of an Aspie who is going through a daunting time instead of just throwing a concise answer at them and expect them to deal with it on their own.
OK, yes, a lot of situations can seem daunting to an Aspie, and I'm no exception to that common trait. But, there sometimes comes a time where I probably do fuss too much over too much small things, and people can only take so much and then get pissed off and just tell me to ''get over it''. If I'm aware that I've been overreacting too much about small things, I sometimes take their concise advice and think that's what I should just do. I remember I had a silly argument with another girl a few years ago, and it was over something so petty that it's easy to get over, but she kept going on so I just yelled, ''Jesus Christ, just get over it!''
But, anyway, back to the former paragraph, I can see how frustrating it can sometimes be to be told that.
