Well being an aspie means that you are constantly making social mistakes, and the fact that you are unaware of these mistakes, can make it very, very frustrating. It's not being an aspie that make you easily susceptible to frustration, as it more the frustration in social situations that's cause by having aspergers.

I feel moderately annoyed and frustrated a lot, but it doesn't really take me over. As LupaLuna said, I don't think it's an Aspie trait to be particularly prone to frustration, I think we just have rather frustrating lives, a lot of things go wrong for us that most people probably just sail through.

I get frustrated to the point of doing irrational things like gambling, I don't have a gambling addiction but its whenever I get annoyed by something or come to the realisation that i'm not accepted in society for example i'm not getting interviews or contacted by employers from jobs I applied to, and the fact that my younger siblings are doing better than me and everyone is expecting me to do better, as they have jobs and I don't and they are doing nothing to help me, that's what makes me so enraged, frustrated and angry.

Stress, and the frustration that follows from continually getting things wrong, from a perspective that remains frustratingly invisible to us, lead unerringly to outbursts. What could be more obvious?

It's a trait of not having met a bully, parent or teacher who beat you up just to give you a reason to be frustrated.

I don't know if it's an aspie trait, but I get very easily frustrated. It's def not just social situations or being misuunderstood, it's any situation that gets difficult or need more skills or patience than I have.

I have always gotten frustrated easily. I think it is an Aspie trait. That's what leads to meltdowns a lot of the time.

I get frustrated at a lot of "little" things most people don't notice, so I get frustrated more often than most.

It might be an autism trait--it might not be. It depends on the person.

Many people who are NOT on the Spectrum get frustrated easily, in my experience.

I think some Aspies are the exact opposite when it comes to special interests--I can work on something for hours and hours--long after a normal person would have given up.

I've always thought it was a "me" thing, it's definitely one of my faults.
