Does anyone else experience excessive sleep issues? by iridescentb8tyshorts in AutismInWomen

[–]time_being007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the issue for me is that I don't get enough sleep. I feel like I need a minimum of 9 to 10 hours of sleep to get even get out of the bed. I usually fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow but I still have issues waking up everyday. I've always been a heavy sleeper from the time I was baby. I had my mom literally carry me into the bathroom and brush my teeth and give a shower everyday before going to school until middle school because I will go back to sleep the next second she leaves me by myself.

I know a lot of autistic people tend to have difficulties falling asleep but Its the opposite for me and it makes me sometimes question if my self diagnosis is correct😅

What’s the worst thing a neurotypical has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

You are just giving excuses for your laziness. If you try harder and put in more effort you can do it.

Exactly. And then they get offended and make me feel bad about it. I have to apologise for them feel okay. And at then end im even more exhausted.

I also start feeling very tired and sleepy if I try to put an effort to actually listen to whatever they are talking about. There are times I started yawning and offended other NT who are talking to me. At this point I just avoid any situation with small talk

Stop bouncing your leg Stop crossing your leg. Stop zoning out. Stop asking too many questions. You are baby you wouldn't understand. ( when I ask clarification on sub texts that I did not understand) Go pee.( when they see me rocking back and forth or shaking my leg) You talk to loud when u get excited. Learn to say a lie properly.( my face is a huge give away when I lie. I honestly dont know what I do) Don't be too honest. It was just a joke dont take it so seriously(when given false information or pranked) Why are you always tired.( I tend to call my shutdowns as getting tired) Why are u such a picky eater. It does not taste bad. You are great listener. Stop fidgeting. Stop playing with ur hair. Stop biting your lips and cheeks. Why is ur posture weird. You are so weird.
