I remember going to bed and once in bed I would close my eyes and i felt my thoughts litterally racing. If I moved an arm or a leg, it felt I did it super fast, any movement, turning my head or bringing my hand to my mouth opening my eyes and closing again, whatever.

This stayed with me as far as maybe age 12 or bit older. What could that have been, was it something autistic?

yes. sometimes that can happen to me too at 17-it's an advantage when making up (as in writing/typing) stories and the like. Sometimes it can be turned on by eating candy or caffeeine, sometimes independent, etc.

Brain slows down and time speeds up? (Clock minutes even look like seconds.)
Brain speeds up and time slows down?
Slow brain thinks it moves fast, fast brain thinks it moves in slow motion?
Slow brain eats lots of time and writes amazingly smart things but can't talk?

I have these effects but I don't know why.
