Hello,

I have been reading here a while. Recently diagnosed. Does anyone else have issues with too much internal energy. I don't know how else to describe it. I have experienced this all my life and only recently started studying AS\ASD. I think this is probably related. This does not happen all the time, but there is this build up of internal nervous energy that needs to be released. Sometime I just scream internally (if that makes since) to let off the pressure. This happens usually when I am in a time of stress and lots of responsibility (that is now). Sometimes I don't know what to do with the energy within or how to deal with it.

Is this an AS thing or something else.....

Yes, I do. I don't think it's an AS thing, just that we AS people aren't as good at hiding it as NTs. I would recommend you take up a physical pursuit of some sort - it will really help!

Welcome to WP! I can relate a bit, sometimes I feel so much stress and it comes out in a meltdown.
