Being Aspie.

Post Reply New Topic

I am Aspie and when I am not in meltdown, I am so very active and alert, I love being in my ‘natural state.’
Being in natural state for me has its consequences, and that is, I know that it will not last as ‘THE BOTTLE WILL FILL’ so to speak.
When the bottle does fill, which in my case is at least twice each month, I meltdown. My meltdowns can last from 1 day to 5 days.
To ‘fix’ the meltdown, I sleep for some 20 hours each day, then I am back to my natural state.
Meltdowns are part of being on the spectrum and I know they cannot be avoided, not now, not ever.
I love being Aspie and I would not change for the world.
Who else can relate to what I have written?

I don't have "meltdowns" like you do. I haven't slept more than 11 hours in years.

But I can relate very well to being an "Aspie" (though I'm not technically an "Aspie," owing to my speech delay).

So if your not an Aspie, why say you can relate to being an Aspie just because you have a speech delay?
There could be other forums that suit your needs.

I don't really love being Aspie, even though technically I'm diagnosed ASD.
I don't get on very well with my anxiety or depression either.

As an autistic, I expect every sensations, conscious or unconscious, would to do something at me half the time.

I also have this bottle to fill before it spills, just not easily filled on daily basis.
It's been years since I had a meltdown. It's been several months since I had a shut down. And more than that since I ever got exhausted by going over my limit.

Yet, I'm still affected in a way that I'd still likely could afford having to function with it. It's just the chaos of daily life isn't big enough to become a real bother, meltdown, shutdown, or sort of trigger.


Well, I'm a formally qualified aspie.
Yet, I barely relate because most topics of aspies had to do with anxiety, depression, social-related stuff like romance and friendship.


Do I love being an aspie? Nah. I could care less, really.
But I do like to know what to do with myself better.
