Wait, there are people who think "anger" is just one thing? wtf?

So yea, this corresponds reasonably well to my experience, and in fact I learned a few useful things about how neurotypicals apparently are different from me I think. The similarity is at least great enough that I'd say it's the same phenomena and the difference are due to normal interpersonal variation.

Supposedly a majority, even, if I remember correctly. I still have trouble wrapping my mind around that one.

(Similarly, there's one friend of mine who finds it hard to believe that I can feel my esophageal muscles doing their thing when I swallow, and I find it hard to believe that he can't. He claims that he's seen studies that put him clearly in the majority, but I still find it vaguely incomprehensible. That's such a basic thing!)
