When you feel indignation, in other words (didn't use that word in the topic as last time I did I don't think many people knew what it meant)... do you get goosebumps etc? I always had this unique feeling, as if I'm pitying myself (I think it's a mixture between fear and sadness, but today I noticed that coldness is very distinctive too).

Indignation is, by the way, the single most pronounced feeling that I attribute to AS mishaps... not sure if anyone else feels this too. Throughout all of school... frequently being punished for misunderstandings.

I don't feel cold in terms of temperature but I do become more cold in terms of temperament and emotional response if that is what you mean (Sorry, was not sure which you meant).

I think I probably seem like I overreact massively when I think I have been wronged or taken advantage of in some way or if there is what I percive to be any for of injustice taking place (especially against someone weaker). I can get a little out of control when speaking to call centres if I feel like they are not acting properly - This is probably not just an AS thing though.

It could be something to do with the neurological makeup of the Aspie brain, a result of being bullied, teased and taken advantage of or just a trait inherited/learned from my father who had a little bit of this aspect in him also.
