I think I can get very very upset at my sister, cuz she REALLY THINK she knows me & I don’t have problems with my Aspergers, it is because of my Aspergers, cuz Aspergers people have trouble dealing with stuff than NT people.

You may wish to experiment in responding to your sister when you get upset. For example you may consider crafting a response that asks her a question thereby taking control of the dynamic and placing yourself in the position of passing judgement on her response. You may also give yourself a time out like going to the bathroom (whether you need to or not) to buy some time and gather your thoughts for a more appropriate response.

As you begin to try different things, you may find some tactics that work better than others and keep those for future use.
