It reduces me to a curled up blob on the sofa. I also have a very low pain tolerance and can't tolerate being unwell. My main coping mechanism is to wear headphones in busy cities to tune out most of the chaos, and I was doing that long before I got diagnosed. I get tired easily, I can have melt downs from silly things like the sun being in my eyes and not being able to see properly (after a somewhat embarrassing day out I now have shades to deal with this problem) and crowded, noisy environments can set me off too. Since then I've felt a lot better, but I do struggle socially. Being a girl it went somewhat unnoticed throughout childhood, but I struggled a lot when I got older and it took a long time until I found a counsellor who managed to nail the problem straight away and forward me to a specialist. I have asperger's as well and was diagnosed about two years ago when I was 29. I don't think I can say much since this thread would be repeating itself, however, I guess its nice to see other people like me.
Thankfully, most of the things that made people realize I had something have decreased, but there's still that person that immediately sees through that, I wonder how? I prefer to not tell anyone of my condition because I don't want to be treated differently or that I'm using my condition to my advantage. You can speak to me" shirt exist for people like me. I only greeted people that greeted me first, and that still affects me. I think I was a lot more sociable when I was 6 more or less, but after people started picking on me I stopped talking to anyone. I also was a lonely kid, my youngest sister is 10 years older than me and, since I have a bit of social awkwardness, I didn't have lots of friends, in fact, I think I only have 2 in real life.
I played with pencils, with different colors being different characters.
