One of the problems of being an Aspie is stress. We experience a greater amount than the average person. It should almost be our middle name. Stress unless it is vented can accumulate and turn into distress. It can induce Trauma.

The following is a list of symptoms of trauma:

* Deer in the headlight frozen expression
* Paleness and racing heartbeat
* Terrified speechless
* Disruptive behavior
* Anger, irritability, mood swings, edginess
* Hyperactive
* Poor concentration
* Demonstrating poor impulse control
* Lethargic, lack of energy
* Depressed
* Shock, denial, or disbelief
* Confusion, feeling out of control
* Anxiety and fear
* Night terrors
* Guilt, shame and self-blame
* Withdrawing from others
* Feeling sad and hopeless
* Feeling disconnected or numb, spacey
* Hyper-focus on mortality or death
* Loss of appetite or overeating
* Obsessive-compulsive behavior
* Avoidance behavior

So, you have finished with high school, but have not started in college or other studies?

If so, the transition from high school to "adulthood" is a difficult one. I'm not surprised you are bored.

What did you like to do in high school?
