I suffer with daily bouts of deja vu, I have all my life. Is this part of autism. It can be very up setting at times I can go places and get a strong felling that I’ve been here doing the exact same thing. I can watch programs or films for the first time and come away convinced I’ve seen it before when it’s impossible. Is it just me or am I crazy.?
Good question. I don’t think your crazy and I think everyone suffers from Deja Vu in their lifetime. There is some research to suggest that constant Deja Vu could be linked to the same brain areas as engaged for Epilepsy:

This is not to say that this is what is causing this for you or for anyone else (there are lots of causes for lots of things). But if it’s causing problems, it might be worth speaking to your GP.
