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 ?

    ...sadly it's something many autistic females find causes bias against us to our detriment.

    I think it's not just females that have that problem.

    Certainly I think there are many male high-functioning autistics who adopt the same coping strategy of social mimicking.

    The only difference is that because the 'male sterotype' is to be agressive, competitive, and macho, we often end up in prison.
