What's interesting is how much of that describes me when I'm tired. I wonder if there's something about ASD that maps to ordinary tiredness. catsidhe, what happens to your "symptoms" when you take whatever drugs people normally take to deal with tiredness?

(ETA: I know it's a huge overgeneralisation to assume that your experiences are the be-all and end-all of the entire Spectrum, but I'm just thinking idly here.)
