Yesterday, I swear if anybody came over they would think I was low functioning... It was almost like I I was stuck in my own autism world... :roll: Does anybody else have this happen to them, where you seem more autistic then other days?

I feel more depressed on some days, which makes my autistic traits more noticable.

My OCD certainly varies strongly, as does the amount of stimming. I think it's mostly to do with how tired I am, and how much general stress I'm under at the time. Haven't had enough control to judge whether sensory issues get worse. They might, they might not. They're pretty minor for me, anyway.

when i'm around people i'm comfortabe with, i seem lower functioning. if i've had a lot of sleep, i can handle myself a little better. in terms of sensory, when i'm tired its out of control

I definitely have totally autistic days. Had one earlier this week actually. Those are the days when I wake up and I just know I'm going to be having a major melt down by the end of the day. The days where you just know that getting out of bed is the stupidest idea you've ever had because nothing is going to go right from that moment on.

Yeah, definitely. There are days when I feel like I can barely function at all.

Yep, definitely. In our home, we all have days where we appear and feel almost normal. We also all have days where we very clearly feel the autism coming out. I think it depends on stress levels, sleep, etc.
