Aspie traits lessen when in a good mood

Laddo

Lately I've noticed that my aspie traits tend to dampen quite significantly when I'm in a good mood. Things like talking to strangers and making eye contact seem easy and not at all the massive chore they are when I'm not feeling my best. I find I have a lot more to add to conversations and quite energetic. Sometimes this will happen even if I'm in a fairly neutral mode. It's like mood swings but with autistic traits instead of moods. Is this normal in aspies? Or am I just a weirdo? I'm 23, in case it's at all relevant.

  • I think it's the same for everyone, not just people on the sepctrum.  The last couple of months I've been treated for iron deficiency anaemia so I've been a lot more tired and down than usual, and the smalest noise, or someone trying to talk to me, was nearly pushing me over the edge.  But, this morning, seeing the sunshine and feeling generally a little bit better, I'm finding it easier to deal with noise and social interaction.
