[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an older brother who gets mean. He’s been mean for my entire life. As an adult, he can socialize and be friendly, but he has little patience and is prone to awkward childish outbursts in response to mild frustrations. When he is tired, he cannot mask his frustrations.

Now he is married with kids and one of his daughters is exhibiting the same pattern.

I don’t know if there is a cure. According to my parents and older relatives, he was mean from Day 1.[/quote]

The above could be anything.

He’d need a neuropsych test or someone very observable and dependent on him living 24/7 with him to determine if his anger is acute and all there is, or an output of a disorder.

The asd related posts here are dealing with someone out of touch with emotions and understanding (ie empathy in action), and they usually underreact (or don’t respond whatsoever, they want questions or comments to go away). 
Then things build and then they massively overreact. They prefer to be left alone and never questioned.

I dont have people who “get mad” at seeing a new dent in their car or a car rental “losing their reservation.” Thats normal, they process their emotion, try to advocate, and then move on.

I do have a problem with the immature, juvenile Anger reaction to basic things or questions or as a coverup to deflect from the issue at hand. Or anger in order to never apologize or take responsibility.[/quote]
