do aspies normaly get inpaeint?

 

[Darkhorse]

I think crowds can try their patience - like in the grocery checkout line, or in traffic.

But of course, that's true for non-aspies too!

 

[KingJames1002]

I think Aspies can get impatient if it invovles one of their obsessions. like computers or videogames ect.

Patience is a virtue

Aspie or not, patience is something you will improve upon as you mature.

I agree with what "Createcoms" stated at 0902 hrs yesterday about practising virtues.
The reason the questioner has for asking the question isn't apparent. If you add some context it will help us answer informatively.
I suggest you start by reading what I consider the best systematic first hand account of autism spectrum conditions, "Autism, an inside out approach" by Donna Williams, pubd Jessica Kingsley Pubrs.

Yeah, aspies tend to get impatient. It's not as pronounced as autism though IMO

 

[rigsby1967]

My son has HFA/aspergus, he is very impatience and get very angry, so i would say yes.

Those with A.S / autism may get more impatient , sometimes , due to the sensory difficulties / overload that we often experience, as well as having to cope with all the general problems of life , which everyone experiences./

 

[chadders]

Like all people, people with AS and Autism will get impatient. It's learning the skill of patience that is the hard part of AS and NT alike.

 

[drifter5]

Chadders, perhaps you do not experience sensory problems. These can lead to emotional outbursts. For example , i find that if i get too hot it will make me feel very irritable , as too can a build up (on my impaired senses) of " low- level " and "constant" sounds. It makes it extremely difficult not to get impatient/irritable/angry/ or even suicidal , for anyone with A.S. /autism that experiences this. I have certainly found this myself.

agree there totaly

I have A.S, and my sensory impairment has got worse in recent years. I know that i used to be more patient when i was younger. Of course, i know that everyone gets impatient sometimes and i was not trying to dispute this.

I know exactly what I am talking about... I have had high functioning Aspergers, diagnosed at birth. AS effects different people differently. And I do experience emotional outbursts however I have also learned to control myself more than most and as a result work better amongst NT people. The AS qualities are still very present, a little bit frustrating that I have to hide some of my emotions actually .

Do you find that you are able to control your emotions all of the time in company,for example with your family, please ? I find that i can control my emotions some of the time, e.g. when at work, but not very well with my family.

No one can control their emotions all of the time...including NT's. Us Aspies simply have emotional regulators that have a more difficult time with the task partially due to our sensitivities and never being taught healthy ways for us to deal with our emotions. As for your family...they are probably safer to let out your feelings to because they have been there through some pretty rotten stuff you have probably "dished out" over the years... it is the same principal as we tend to hurt those we love the most... because we trust them the most to stick it out and be there in spite of ourselves. We can let down our walls easier with them.

Hang in there... you aren't alone.

Of Course Aspies get impatient...we are human after all...even if we feel more like Data most of the time.

Fiona, I also saw where you decided that you should not have asked this question... it is very okay to ask a question like this... how else will you get a variety of viewpoints to satisfy the curious cat inside of you... not only that but it also gives others something to ponder and go deeper with that they may not have thought about before which can help in their spiritual walk... you are simply following God's bidding when you allow your curiousity to help you go into a deeper relationship with him.

I invite you to take a look at what it would mean to learn to have compassion for yourself... I mean God has compassion for you... do you think God's judgement is faulty?
