What's anger like for you?

Paul P

For me, it's a shameful and terrifying experience, a total loss of control during which I take actions I would never normally contemplate.

For me, I'm curious whether this represents a typical reaction for someone with ASD or if it's more a product of my emotional repression and/or childhood PTSD

  • The vast majority of the time my emotions are very muted so I don’t so much get angry so much as irritated.

    But if I’m subjected to sensory overwhelm - particularly from noise - I will, very rarely, have a meltdown and that isn’t pretty. I can get so angry and shouty it practically melts nearby rocks. Thankfully this happens less than once a year.
