Sometimes I feel time in slow-motion

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really know how to explain it but I see people/things move slower and I think faster/multiple things at a time when it happens. Could this in any way be related to Asperger's?

I'm 54 years ago...could you give me your secret?

I wish my life went in slow-motion. Time is racing right now!

Before you now it, I'll be 84!

I know of a couple different things which can make it seem like time is moving in slow-motion. But autism isn't one of them.

Other things which can make time move in slow-motion:

- Certain medications & illegal drugs.
- Manic phase of bipolar disorder.
- Dissociative disorder.
- Being in shock.
- Having adrenaline flood your body.

When the rate of cognitive activity goes up, then the rate of external sensory input seems relatively lower.
The reverse can also be true.

I can slow time down at will. This enables me to make decisions quicker and react quicker as well. I do it by being hyper aware and remaining calm. It helps when i'm playing ping pong or soccer.
