He was verbally abusive? If you don't mind me asking, what kinds of things did he say to you?

I know I have hurt people in my life, because I simply don't think the way they do, and I frequently don't understand why they are upset. I have caused a lot of tension in my relationships. Yet although this is a neurobiological disorder, I still have to take responsibility for my actions - AS is not a "free pass" to hurt people's feelings.
