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.

  • @Marjorie195 An experiment was done on Embarrassing Bodies where two people, Dr Christian Jessen and a man with Asperger's, watched the same film clip of a couple acting.  the man with Asperger's wasn't too sure what was going on in the scene, where the DR could guess.  It's because he spent most of the time looking at the people's faces, understanding their body/facial language, etc, where the man with Asperger's spent most of the time looking at the surroundings, avoiding the faces.  I don't like eye contact, I feel like people are looking into my soul, or something weird like that.  I feel violated.
