More Autistic traits showing under pressure?

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.

    to me it is the biggest problem with being autistic

    I get really angry with myself and end up self-gaslighting and punish myself for being so

    it leads to a cycle of downward depression more stress etc.

    sometimes one has to do too much because if not things go to pieces and then they go to pieces anyway because one has done to much
