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 quite agree Laddo. When I am sressed, I don't want to know anyone and snarl at those who intrude, but when I'm happy, I like to be with people.

    Eye contact, I keep for TV viewing. The rest of humanity, I look at their mouth. I used to get coments about deafness, but I'm old enough to be a bit deaf now, so I hope people don't find it rude. If you can look people in the eye, then you are strong.

    I don't know enough aspies to know if it's normal, but it fits me too.
