Is it normal for someone with AS to have zero tolerance?

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

I'm not sure about other AS...but I often have ZERO tolerance for quite a few things.
Just to name one...

*Liars - If someone lies to me, I lose all trust in them and will most likely hold a grudge on them about this forever.

There was a time where I hardly had any tolerance. This was during my middle school/early high school age.

Zero-tolerance is bad quality. Extremely bad. It takes considerable ability, and is considerably valuable, to have tolerance for people. This ability is a virtue. And, it allows for social functioning.

This brings me to something I've been considering. Generally, and hypothetically, there would be no society if there were only AS and autistic people, due to the lack of or limited tolerance, the lack of or limited ability to deal with and resolve conflict, and the strong ability to create conflict from relatively small things.

I have zero tolerance for ignorance, as*holes, bullies, people who can't stop arguing and won't just drop it because that person isn't going to agree with them.

I used to have zero tolerance for alot of things... alcohol for instance... I've loosened up when it comes to other people drinking, but I personally wish to remain sober...

I have zero tolerance for people who sit around and wait for things to just resolve themselves.
I have zero tolerance for people who allow others to push them around and do nothing in the name of keeping the peace.

OK, bottom line, I have ZERO tolerance for many things.

I used to have zero tolerance, now I pretty much ignore the world and all it's eternal stupidity. I still get angry somewhat easily, but fewer things can make me angry now.
