‘Dark time of year and accompanying distress’

NAS73935

Is it autistic to be affected by the abrupt  light change at this time of year? 

Parents

  • I always struggle more this time of year. Part of my autism is that I sleep lots. While asleep I can be free from any issues caused by autism. I really struggle to get up in the winter, I have to get my wife to make lots of noise about 30 min before I get up so I can have some time to come around. I am going on holiday to Tenerife next week and strangely will have no issue waking up then.
