adult autism regression

openheart

I have been struggling lately with Aspergers, I feel I have regressed in many fields of operation and I am seeking information that adults can regress. I have read on the net, that regression can be the caused by stress and mistaken for depression in people with autism.

I know regression forms part of the autism model in childhood, but can it also in adulthood ? or is it just stress and lack of coping mechanisms. I feel like everything I knew or trusted is gone ?

  • I would also like to add that socialising is very tiring, and although I can enjoy it when I get used to someone, I still need a lot of time alone afterwards in order to recuperate. Socialising uses my whole cognitive apparatus, and there is always a feeling of tension and anxiety when I am around people in a social setting, with the possible exception of my support worker and my mum and dad.

    Consequently I have few friends, and most of my social encounters are associated with work or support.
