How can you tell when you're are stressed, what are the signs mainly?

It's difficult for me to know if I'm stressed or how I feel myself sometimes. Don't know it this is a normal thing or the aspergers is making me not know my own feelings. I have rituals as well which I get annoyed about doing but I have to do and I keep thinking that something bad would happen if I don't complete the rituals correctly. So would this be a sign of stress as well?

  • Not knowing how you feel is apparently quite common amonst people on the spectrum.

    I certainly often don't realise how stressed I am until either I become absolutely exhausted or the stress passes, which in both cases usually results in me sleeping a lot for a few days.

    And, yes, obsessive ritual behaviours are a sign of, and can be exacerbated by, stress.
