At the age of 10 I more or less shut down, and during the following years also lost all social skills I used to have. I couldn't just communicate as I used to, as it wasn't natural to me. Like a kid who was taught math, but forgot it.
Oddly enough I've felt that same thing (but more recently). I've thought that I perhaps have a later onset of Asperger's. Now I know that it's not possible, but seems so since my trouble with communication has seemed to become more pronounced. Perhaps it's in correlation with my depression being treated and nearly eradicated; the traits may have come out more strongly.
I can still socialize, but, since my senses may be sharper when not dulled by depression, I feel much more of a separation from others than I did previously.
I hope it didn't seem that I disregarded the rest of your post; I found your post very helpful, and this line really spoke to me.
