Criticism

I can't take criticism, particularly from my peers and particularly with things I feel that I should be good at. I get angry and upset, although I try and hide this  due to my desire to act 'neurotypical'.  Several people with AS, who I know, are very judgemental and pedantic, criticising freely. I am also very pedantic, but I try hard to be tactful when in public and try  not to pass criticism. Ironically, despite my AS, I am very self-aware. I have been criticised by  a person with AS, and afterwards I obsessed over it and felt very angry and upset. Proof that people with AS can end up annoying each other!. What do you think? Can you take criticism?
