Its incredibly frustrating being friends with a person who has aspergers

I don't know how you deal with it. Not sure it can be dealt with. I assume this person is young. The male brain doesn't fully develop until 25 years old. Some Aspies take even longer to figure out how the world work. Some never figure it out.

In a more mature Asipe you could later talk to him about why he got angry with you. Things people say can be interpreted different ways. I can sometimes screw up and assume the worse possible interpretation and get mad. If the person comes back later and asks why, I explain, and then they explain what they meant and I apologize. But it still leaves a dent in the relationship so then I try to be extra understanding with that person, extra nice because that person is very valuable to me, they came back and talked.

Unfortunately an immature Aspie might double down and just get more mad. You would have to be prepared for that and I would suggest just walking away. We generally learn the hard way, the hardest way possible. Some of us have to lose a lot of friends before we understand friendship.
