I think my DP may have Aspergers

I think my DP may have Aspergers. What should be basic discussion descends in to terrible arguments and he gets into terrible rages this anger that can last days, he is constantly falling out with people and just can not see anyone else's perspective. He is socially awkward and will spoil things by appearing rude and disninterested, He says he loves me but can be as cold as ice and almost acts like he hates me when he deems I have done something wrong.. I was beginning to think that it was me but now coming to this conclusion, a couple of my close friends have suggested there is something wrong. I am at a loss and would love some examples on how to understand all this.

Obviously if a person is abusive nobody should have to put up with it and yes you should leave.

My point has been that ASD itself is not a condition that is diagnosed on the basis of how angry you get or how argumentative you are.

Absolutely.

My father is ASD as I mentioned above - he's the least argumentative person I know - he hates confrontation. Poor auditory processing - which is quite typical of ASD - means he finds quickfire verbal discussions difficult - although he's superbright and on paper he's 100%.

He gets very stressed and shuts down.

So it's possible to be ASD and not angry or argumentative in the slightest.
