Is This Typical Under Stress?

KeyboardWorrier68

Hi,

I still unsure about whether I may have some from of ASD, but wanted to ask a specific question as a clue to understanding myself a bit more.

When my wife and I were in discussion of things which I found stressful I know I would somtimes find myself thinking of a word, usually one that was 'inspired' by something in the conversation, and would be mentally rearranging the letters to make new words, etc instead of concentrating on the conversation. It doesn't strike me as a normal thing to do, and it may explain why my wife has subsequently said about large chunks or even entire conversations of which I have little or no recollection. 

Is this anything that anyone has encountered? Is it a clue to me having some autistic traits?

  • Because people on AS have a mindset which fundamentally differs from other people there is always going to be misunderstandings between couples and I guess the only thing I can say is that the partner who is NT needs to try to be aware of what makes their other half tick and that the qualities that first attracted to them to their partner are still there but that there are other apsects present that need to be managed.

    The trouble is, if the needs of the NT partner are not being satisfied enough they may simply decide they are in the wrong relationship.
