im aspie, she's NT. She got upset because I wasnt paying attention to her on the phone for about 5 minuets, while I was pre-occupied. She's super pissed now and wont even talk to me. I dont understand. Is this reasonable and does she have reason to be upset? Or am I missing something?

It is you. You are missing being NT. My wife gets mad at me everyday for missing my cue to say something. We get over it.

Erm, I think it's entirely justifiable for someone to be annoyed that when you're on the phone, having a conversation with someone, you aren't listening.

If you're on the phone with someone ESPECIALLY YOUR GIRLFRIEND you should be listening, not thinking about something else. Most importantly of all - Even if YOU think that's unreasonable, it's the norm with most people.

It's you.
Women tend to get annoyed as HELL when
their man is not listening to them.
After that, in some cases, women give the guy the silent treatment.
