More Autistic traits showing under pressure?

maxlinger60

Anybody else notice their autistic traits become much more prevalent or harder to suppress when tired, stressed, or drained?

Usually I'm fidgety and mildly sensorily sensitive, but some days I just have to stim more openly or repeat more familiar activities or I will simply implode into a sad puddle.

  • Yes definitely. I went through a period of burnout in the spring and really struggled with sensory stuff, food became difficult too. I find when I’m struggling I will listen to a song until I really don’t like it anymore. My speech becomes quiet, eye contact minimal. I don’t enjoy these times.
