Anger as a Response to Extreme Emotional Stress when you are Suddenly Autistic 

For much of my life, anger was the emotional response I identified with most strongly. I found life extremely frustrating and felt constantly interrupted and encroached upon.
During the process of receiving my autism diagnosis, my psychologist dug into my emotional literacy and found it a little lacking (to put it politely). I had been living life as a human calculator and was almost completely out of touch with my body, albeit for a few niche areas of life.
So, along with getting used to being Suddenly Autistic at 46 years of age, I also had to learn how to feel, not just so I could understand my emotions but also so I could reduce the stress the emotions of others were causing me.
While I'm still a work in progress, things are looking up and I've now added a few more emotions to my daily repertoire.
Let me know in the comments below how you cope with the emotionality of others.
