Someone (maybe Dr. Hallowell, not sure), described the effect @Larynxa refers to as “0 to 11” as, not so much that our emotions are actually higher than others. Rather that our hardwiring bypasses the gate on emotion others have. In other words, neurotypical people’s emotions are naturally intercepted in a way ours aren’t.
Oh, and while we’re on the topic, one of the ways therapists recommend to vent some of the wrath and other emotions is to keep a journal and write about what we were feeling throughout the day, especially about stressful and enjoyable moments.
