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, I definitely get that. I'm not sure how to put it into words and I want to be careful to make it clear that I'm writing about my experiences, and that they may not translate to other people's experiences. I think it's when I feel less able to cope, less able to mask or feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of things going on in my life that I notice I feel more of an Autist.
