Do you ever get days when you feel even more autistic?

Rocinante

I am currently having a period of a few days when I'm feeling even more autistic than normal.

Like, small talk seems even more exhausting than normal, I'm feeling more disconnected from other people, even people I am normally more comfortable with, and just generally feeling discontent (feeling content is what I call in myself what other people might call happiness I think).

I'm feeling like I'm being misunderstood and also that I am misunderstanding people more than normal.

I'm feeling more unsettled than usual.

I've had this before for varying lengths of time.

I just wondered if anyone else feels like this sometimes?

  • Yes, just yes. Right know a lot of my routines are changing. I‘m so much closer to the edge all of the time and have less energy for stuff like socialising so I‘m currently very lonely and in a constant inner battle between not wanting to be alone all of the time and not having the energy to do stuff outside of my usual appointments and duties. I‘m more sensory sensitive, less sociable, more indecisive, easily irritated and struggle to perform basic tasks like cooking, cleaning, organising stuff or even showering or brushing my teeth every night (have that mostly back under control, but it was rather scary for me as a usually very hygienic person).
