Some (possibly many) autistics are hypersensitive to their emotions and feel everything at an intense level. I, for one, am ecstatic when I am happy; I am dejected when I am sad; I am infuriated when I am angry. Perhaps this hyper-emotionality amplifies the normal human range of anger in some Aspies and causes these so-called "anger outbursts."

I can relate to that. My emotions are all-encompassing. Which is why it's so extreme for me to like someone a lot. I can't deal with all the excess emotion. ^^

Under positive circumstances I'm not an angry person; it's an emotion I very rarely feel. But when someone treats me badly and I'm provoked, then yeah, I get really angry. (I tend to bottle it all inside though!)
