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’m having one now and have been struggling with feeling disconnected for over a week. There are basic housekeeping things need to do and I have been spending ages on some things that should only take a few minutes, and time is passing without me realising until it’s too late. 

    I feel as if my friends that I see occasionally are in a different world and I can’t imagine that I ever connected with them. It’s as if I was a different person, like looking at a photograph of myself when I was a child and seeing someone else. 

    Disconnection has happened many times previously, so I am just going to keep going at a snail’s pace, knowing that things will improve at some stage.
