Highs and Lows

BlondeRagdoll

Evening,

I am wondering if other people experience highs and lows in regards to mood? Sometimes I don't know if it is AuDHD or just my mood in general. Yesterday I was listening to music which like it usually does sends me hyper and really feel good (I was practicing ice dancing moves in the living room and I don't even ice skate) yet today I nearly had a meltdown in Lidl because the music was too loud. These shifts in mood are overwhelming and exhausting.

  • Yep - me too,  My wife thought I might be bipolar before diagnosis of autism.

    Seems many traits are similar and there are plenty of examples of misdiagnosis.  Not clear how much evidence their is of autistic and bipolar co-existing...

    I figure that for me the experience of being autistic can be so sh.. that you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

    I am lead to believe the solution is to seek to be on a more "level" status...

    Maybe something in that however I admit to liking that feeling of being high even tho' it regularly lead one into situations where the autism really works against one socially and cue a downer...
