My mental disorder causes me to become a raging jerk when I'm under stress. Some of us have a problem with expressing our emotions. I lose my ability to feel when I'm stressed, so I snap at people. And then I don't realize I'm rude until it's too late. I have been told repeatedly that I shouldn't use my Autism/Asperger's as an excuse, but that can't be right when it affects my ability to feel for others. I can be extremely insensitive in some situations. It's so bad that I'm told that I'm being insensitive or selfish. Then once I understand all the feelings wash over me. I prioritize things at that moment based on what's pressuring me the most, and don't see other things which may upset people when I do them. I know it sounds complicated. My mental disability affects my ability to feel, understand and realize things. And when I get angry or stressed I completely lose my ability to listen to reason and I won't think about the consequences of anything I do. And then I always feel horrible about them later.

One last thing, How come whenever I try to start a debate people are all so rude to me? But yet they'll debate with everyone else on here? I seriously don't get it.

I know I've asked this many times around the wiki but the reason why I keep asking is because I still have yet to receive a proper answer for this. They say that I do it in an obnoxious way but I fail to see how my way is any different than how the other people on here do it. I guess my Asperger's prevents me from seeing this as well but I really don't. And I want to know what I can do to improve. As a fellow Aspy, I can understand how hard it can be to resist impulses sometimes. We all have our inner demons that we struggle with, and it sounds like this is yours. However, I also know that it is indeed possible to get disorders like ADHD and Asperger's under control. Not to the point where the symptoms disappear, but to the point where you can limit the damage they can cause. Recognizing that you can get that way when you are stressed is an excellent first step to dealing with the issue. If I had any suggestions, I would advise taking a break from the internet whenever you get stressed like that, so that you don't have to snap at someone and try and calm down with your own power. Next, I would suggest trying to change how you view the responses people give you. It is very possible that what you see as an insult is really intended to be criticism on how you can improve. People aren't trying to attack you, they are trying to convey what bothers them about your actions. As such, it would be a lot less stressful and maybe even helpful for you if you could try to change your perspective that the criticism is there to help you grow, rather than insults to diminish you.
