...Or is it just me??

I have a lot of sensory issues. Some deal with sight, like bright lights and such. Every once in awhile I have a few brief moments where sight is irrelevant to me. It's tough to explain...I mean, I am not blind--I see things, I see shapes, colours, etc, but the things lose all meaning to me as if my brain has difficulty identifying what is actually in my field of vision. It doesn't happen often, and usually during some sort of overload. Am I the only one this happens too? Can it be an ASD thing, or something else?

I think the same thing happens to me... I see things, but I can't make sense of them or tell what they are. Is that what you're referring to? It happens to me during overload.

Yes, that is what happens to me. Is that what people here are calling a shutdown (or one form of a shutdown)?

I think so. It happens to me when I'm in or on the way to shutdown.
