Autism
- Sometimes I'll read or hear someone say something but can't think about it
It's especially worser when it's complex wording
When I'm reading stuff or listening to someone say something sometimes I won't be able to think about it even though I can read fine or hear the person fine
My mind just goes empty and I can't really think or mentally process stuff and will just be stuck there with an empty mind
- How are your meltdowns like?
I have not been professionally diagnosed as autistic, though I am awaiting the diagnostic process. I am wondering a bit about (what I think are) my autistic meltdowns, as they are almost the same as (what I think are) my panic attacks. People often call them panic attacks as well, also with no panic involved. In both cases I am shaking, hyperventilating, sweating more and some other things. As far as I remember my latest panic attack, I don't think I was really craving having as few stimuli as possible and wasn't crying either (both usually being the case with the autistic meltdowns).
So: how are your meltdowns like? How are they different from panic attacks for you?

There was so much posted from yesterday I got distracted and almost didn't make this post! MOAR POSTS!
This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.
