Anybody else suffered autistic regression when it comes to social skills and communication?I used to be excellent at being able to mask and quite charismatic to the point someone would never guess I was on the spectrum but the past 5 years I've turned into a deafmute vegetable.The difference is so dramatic people are shocked when they meet me and haven't seen me for a long time. They think I'm sick or gone insane or something (which in someway I guess I have lol).Is this shit permanent? Like the way stroke victims sometimes cannot recover? Or will autistic regression eventually get better or subside?

this is made up bullshit they sell you on instagram. how about you use your fucking brain for once today
Yes, absolutely. Since turning 30 I think I've regressed and retreated back into my shell further than I've ever been. To the point of having real difficulty even getting my thoughts into words most of the time. I forget words/names/places, have so many mental blanks during conversation. Turning 34 in 30 days. Permanent? Probably. Have heard from a few sources that by 30's you've well and truly formed the habits and personality that will stay for the rest of your life. Changing it would mean a very large change of lifestyle and how I spend free time, it's not likely or even logistically possible at this point in life. Short of quitting my job and going on a 12 month backpacking tour of the world I dunno what else would do the trick. Even then you're still likely to "just bee yourself" which is how you got yourself in this position to begin with. Learn to live with it, I guess.

>>33929570pureblood....I'm just a sperg
>>33929553>I forget words/names/places, have so many mental blanks during conversationThat's not autism, that's a cognitive problem
>>33929488Yes, when I uncovered mt ex wofe's affairs, I became a mindbroken hermit for 2 or so years. Before that I was the popular happy go lucky guy who had lots of friends.Now I just exist in apathy.
>>33929488>>33929553>>33930067Just curious how much time y'all spend alone? I'm in the same boat and I'm beginning to realize it's probably being driven from 4chan and isolation. I see the same 4 people all day at work and then go home, except for Sundays when I get to see my church friends. I know the process of getting ack out there and being social is the key, but that's also the hardest part because you self-isolate after learning people are shit
People will come up with anything to not take accountability. Yeah sure buddy it's you're autism hahahha
>>33930259>how much time y'all spend alone?Too much evidently. Work 38 hours a week, see the same 3 or 4 people. Weekends I'm usually at home or doing things like hiking trails or fishing alone. I'm in a 4WD club, maybe half a dozen times a year I go on a camping trip with a larger group but they're all retirees and boomers. I've got maybe 1 or 2 long term friends whom I might see once or twice a year at best. It seems >getting back out there and being socialRequires going to bars, pubs and clubs with the express purpose of drinking alcohol, which I hate. This basically makes socialising with people my age technically impossible. People go quiet or treat you differently after you tell them you don't drink.
>>33929488Yeah I went to college, and my roommate was a normie, and I was stuck with almost 24/7, so I practically had to mask all the time. Anyways I don't care, being free of the burden of socializing is a gift.
