Do you ever have those days when you have no qualms with anyone or anything - or aren't particularly out-of-it or just stimming less than usual?
Yes but I don't think I ever stim that much unless I'm upset or frustrated.

If so, does it feel weird for you?
No, I feel more normal than usual.
Quote:
How often do you feel normal?
Don't know. I think however, there may be contributing factors involved as well such as life style, chemistry, sleep cycle, diet, and other physiological crap. Whenever I'm not out and about, I tend to get very preoccupied with my interests. I also am more prone to anxiety when faced in a social situation unexpectedly. The more I'm out among people, the less I tend to feel aspie-ish depending on my environment and stimuli.
One thing I think helps with some of my sensory issues is getting into some physical activities. I tend to feel better after walking around the block especially if I'm feeling angry or nervous. It's as if I am better able to handle stressors without the likelyhood of a meltdown.
Also sensativities to certain foods is another issue of mine. I can't seem to manage well with the side effects of sugary foods or drinks. Whenever I eat or drink something loaded with sugar, I get very anxious, tired, and stressed. My mind tends to get fuzzy and it feels like my sensativity to pain has been uploaded a notch. I don't know, I've been checked for diabetes and liver function. So I assume my aspergers might have something to do with this little dilemma of mine.
Anyway, I don't think I'll ever really be know what it's really like to be NT-ish since I can only define in a sense of functioning socially.
Oh well.....
