Treating behavior flare ups in self

Post Reply New Topic

Background
I'm undiagnosed either way, but I started to suspect ASD more strongly after rereading a psychological evaluation of myself from my childhood where I was rated two standard deviations outside of typical behavior.

Overall, I've been doing well for a few years now thanks to my supportive spouse and understanding work environment. I take antihistamines and drink coffee, but those aren't particularly unusual for me. I've always noticed antihistamines were mind-altering for me, but my allergies are poorly controlled without medicines.

Lately, I've had more trouble with tuning out noise, and I can't stop interrupting at work in meetings. It's like there's this immense pressure whenever I hold something in that we might not solve problems the right way. I feel like I'm getting more atypical these past few weeks, and I'm scared that it'll get worse and I'll lose my job and friendships if I don't figure out how to rein it in. I don't understand what is going on in my own head.

Questions
Are there resources around what can cause the severity of behaviors to increase?
Could it just be having more meetings is pushing my coping strategies to their limit?
How do I know which environmental or biological changes I should attempt first?

Thanks in advance
