I never really had the "meltdowns" that I hear about autistic people, unless particularly bad temper tantrums when I was 2-5 years old count, but I also agonized about how little sense "social rules" made. I would spend a lot of time pondering and thinking about these things.

So I completely get this and empathize.

I don't have meltdowns either but I do get unreasonably upset about stuff that seems illogical to me.
Sure. I remember feeling this way when playing video games until I was 13-14. Getting so frustrated I wanted to throw the controller and punch stuff.

The fact I don't get this anymore is probably from the trauma(?) of parentification I went through growing up.
