Yes, I think it is very unusual for someone to be outrageously angry without having been "dumped on" in some way. It is not an excuse, but finding the more positive human side in everyone I think is a worthwhile endeavor. My just wondering what caused her to be so angry made me think it wasn't the Aspergers that was bothering her so much but how she was being treated in life because of it. To figure out that someone really isn't angry with ME is the way I can keep from being angry with them. I'm sure I misguide my anger ALL OVER THE PLACE, hehe.

And strangely, I get angry more at inanimate objects and at arshole drivers on the road that I don't know. I take the BIG things in stride. It's the LITTLE stuff that actually enrages me. Because there is no arguing with an inanimate object. And I can't say how many times I wish Citizen's Arrest were valid while I was driving amongst reckless people. Especially those who are too fond of my bumper. I am considering making a bumper sticker that says:

</Tailgaters>

A lot of people feel anger and resentment about having AS. It's a perfectly legitimate response to the condition, especially in the early years of diagnosis. It's not that there's a 'right' way to feel in this matter, there's different stages to it. I think s/he could have been less abusive, but I wasn't particularly offended, I've seen those sentiments expressed before. feh, so what.

I have an extremely short fuse too. Sometimes I blow, but most of the time I just get grouchy.

It was probably stopped due to all of the offensive messages.
