Autistic Presentation

Raven_Forester

Hi everyone, 

Is there ever a time that anyone ever feels more autistic than normal? I guess a better way to phrase this is, is there ever a time when its harder to hide your autism? Like when you're tired or stressed or experiencing other high emotions. Such as attending a funeral while extremely sleep deprived which was exactly what happened today. Well, I guess all week I've felt that I've been acting "way more autistic" than usual. For instance, more stimming, more sensory sensitivity, social tolerance, worsened executive dysfunction, etc. Does anyone else get that? Just curious. 

Or it could be totally unrelated to autism.

  • I would tend to agree with a lot of what other posters in this thread have said - that anxiety and stress, often caused by a sudden change in circumstances, affects my ability to mask. During these times, I won't interact with people as much. I also try to put more time into things that I enjoy doing.
