I think I'm in the first part of catatonia type breakdown in autism. I brought this up to my mom and my therapist as an explanation for what's happening to me: (losing speech more and more- haven't said anything the past 2 weeks, I get physically frozen for 20 minutes to an hour on a daily basis with more time being slow and failing to start actions, and I just seem more autistic than I used to or have higher support needs.) I introduced it as 'I'm not sure but what I have kind of seems like this thing I read about...' and they support the theory. I don't have enough symptoms though. I'm really afraid of people thinking I'm faking and I don't want to self diagnose even though that's an ok thing to do. I had the privilege of a professional autism diagnosis and it seems like I have the opposite problem of everyone else, the people who are in control of me are just going along with my stupid theory. So how do I know if it's real??
