*Autistic Shutdowns collection* - Do you experience these ?

aidie

Hi

I have been trying to work out if I am experiencing Shutdowns, I am still not sure 

I have been trying to find information online but its pretty unspecific. Very few videos about it either.

If you experience shutdowns, please

  1. list the symptoms
  2. describe the process you experience
  3. describe how you feel afterwards please
  4. what triggers it / is there always a trigger ?

I want to determine if I am indeed experiencing shutdowns.  

Get your experiences added to this collection  Thumbsup.

Thanks for any responses,advice,ideas

  • What causes shutdown for me is seeing or experiencing major change feeling like I cannot control the situation so I get all worried and anxious feel really weak and need to go and try and rest my head even though I'll be that anxious I won't be able to sleep. Need some time out away from people.

    it's like you have a partial shutdown -- interesting  OR  you are really tough underneath and are somehow able to keep awake / fight the shutdown. A bit like a boxer that defies falling down even though they are knocked out and being punch repeatedly. 

    The variation of shutdowns is really remarkable as in your account.

    thanks for your contribution
