Hello fellow forum users,
This is my first post on the forum and I am in need of some assistance. I am diagnosed autistic but also have a diagnosis of CPTSD and have quite severe mental rumination. I have had a few severe mental breakdowns and recently had two within a 4 month period that have left me taking time off work and being unable to look after myself.
my partner made a comment that my mannerism had changed and that I have become more withdrawn and in a sense lost the ability to socialise. I have noticed this too to an extent but I wondered whether this is a known phenomenon in people with autism who go through mental breakdowns. It almost feels like I cannot mask at all.
thank you for all your information and assistance in advance
