Autistic shutdown

Just wondering what Autistic Shutdowns are in particular what feelings are around leading up to a shutdown..

Like i think i just had a minor shutdown not a full one is this possible? 

Over the last 2 weeks i have been struggling a lot with the world its brightness, the noise people getting close and invading personal space. I snapped at some people in the street for approaching me.

This lead to my mind whizzing at times and being sluggish at others, brain fog, extreme anxiety, loss of 'faith' that life gets better.

Adding to that sleep problems like getting too hot, my feet not feeling great out of socks, feet getting too hot in socks, blanket feeling weird, aching body, sweating and more that i cant think of right now

I get home and listen to the same stuff over and over again and just stare into space etc although it didnt feel like the really bad time i had a few years back it felt close..

Now i am coming out of the other side and i feel tired like i have been working out or my body has been exercising for ages..

is this a partial shown? 

Cheers
