My term for it, before I learned I might have HFA/Aspergers, was "going into safe mode," like a satellite that gets sensory overloads and resets its systems and awaits a signal from the ground station to restart.

Oh, and I correct grammar, but not silently...
Yeah. I cannot stop myself from
mentally correcting someone's spelling and grammar errors as I read. But, I try to stop myself from
verbally correcting someone - except at home; those people should know better!
