Feeling low over the summer, linked to autism?

Phantom L

Since finishing college for the summer, I have been feeling very low recently.

My mum recently made a comment about my 'handling' of my asd getting worse, which is making me very paranoid as that is the last thing I want, as I want to get better not worse. Plus I have just overall been feeling irritable, stressed and bored. I do believe it is the fact over the summer I have no studying to focus on which usually helps me a lot, along with the limited social interraction.

I hate feeling like this, does anyone have any advice to stop me feeling like this for the rest of the summer, along with tips in handling my autism better, as I hate the idea of me using it as an 'excuse' which my parents have implied a few times recently.

  • I have often wondered what is wrong with me that I feel worse in the summer. I much prefer the winter with the dark nights. I am pretty sure it is because in the summer everyone else is outside and I feel more 'exposed'. In the dark I can be wrapped up or inside on my own.

    i never linked this with aspergers before. I just thought there was something very wrong with me that I am so different to the vast majority of people.
