It's been harder to talk to people lately. My hands don't work well either. I think I have seizures, but the doctors can't find any, even when I DO have seizure-like things going on and used to have seizures all the time. How do I fix this because doctors don't seem to know what they're doing. They literally say there's nothing wrong even though ALL my teachers, my mom, and many other family members have noticed.

Maybe you are extra stressed about something and as a result it is breaking down your coping mechanisms? When people are stressed their ability to function in many was is impaired... Perhaps that is what is happening... your level of dealing with your autistic traits is not being as effective as it usually is for whatever reason.

I thunk it's all in your head. Really, there are far too many explanations for this for us to go through.

I've noticed that I feel much worse and somehow more autistic when I don't get enough sleep, don't eat very healthy, and/or don't exercise regularly.

Or when I forget to take my vitamin B supplements. I originally started to take them for my Crohn's, which affects vitamin B absorption, but I recently read that vitamin B6, B12 and magnesium can potentially improve autistic abilities. You might want to give that a shot. (Don't overdo it with the magnesium though).

Same for me. I don't take vitamin B but I have a serious lack of energy if I don't take my multivitamin. Need sleep, a calm environment, and exercise otherwise I'll have similar problems. Perfect example: my mom and I got into an argument, she yelled and I fell on the floor (instantly almost like passing out) and cried for about 3 hrs. No real brain problems I just can't deal with noise and stress.

You can try relaxation and hypnosis.

Oh yes, stressful situations can really make me upside down. Especially social stressful situations.
