High functioning autistic zoning/blacking out

Dawn

Hi my 17yr old son has started to zone/black out during conversations and activities. I know this can be common for HFA’s but he continues talking or doing the activity. He eventually realises hes zoned out and cant remember any of whats just happened. My daughter used to suffer from absent seizures epilepsy but when she had an episode she would completely stop what she was doing not like my son who continues. 
hes also been complaining of sometimes complete days feeling like a dream! 
has anyone else experienced what im describing?

  • Hi Dawn,

    Thank you for sharing this with our community. While we are waiting for the community to respond, you may be interested in contacting a local National Autistic Society branch. Our branches offer support to local autistic people and their families. If you are interested in checking if there is a local branch near to you, please follow the link below:

    https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/local-branches

    Our branches are volunteer-led, and as such every branch and group is different. Some are parent support groups, some provide support and information to autistic adults, while others have office premises and run their own a drop-in service. You will need to check with a branch directly for more information on whether they are able to provide a particular service that you are interested in.

    If you were interested in starting a branch or group, please email branchservices@nas.org.uk

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards,
