I am not Aspie -- or at least not diagnosed Aspie; I looked at my Aspie son and know perfectly well where many of his behaviours came from -- and this describes me too. I can tell you perfectly well what I was feeling and why, once I'm past it. I can describe with high accuracy how some future situation will feel. But when I'm highly upset in the moment, you will get no spoken explanation from me. To this day, I prefer to have emotional discussions in text rather than speech; my fiance hates it, but he's learned to work with it, because it's better than the alternative, which is me raging or crying silently and not responding to questions.
