(I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place for this, sorry if there's a better forum)

I've been having a real problem with people lingering in my peripheral vision. I mean I've had it before in my past, but lately its become a real issue for me because people have noticed me bugging out a little bit. I'm not exactly sure if this is paranoia or if this is an autistic sensory integration issue though. Has anyone had experiences like this before?

I never had this kind of issue while I was on medication, but I don't really want to go back on... I've been off for a little while now and have been feeling more like myself lately

I don't think this is a problem for me because my vision is so bad that my periphery vision is just a blur,(I wear glasses ).

I do think I am more bothered by sensory issues when my over all anxiety levels are higher...like I'm on constant "alert" status. I think this may have something to do with PTSd from being AS and adrenal cortisol levels. Perhaps a blood test will show this for you ?

That makes me nervous, like why are they lingering there? Of course, I'm pretty suspicious by nature. Probably a little paranoid too. I prefer to keep an eye on people.
