I was hoping you could help me get a question to the community for a character I'm working with. How does being angry affect your shutdowns? More specifically how does it affect your verbalness?
I’ve had shutdowns before. It’s probably different for everybody, but to me it feels like I’ve been “deprogrammed”. My brain is kind of a black void where all the feelings and sensations are happening, but they’re behind the void where I can’t see or feel them until I come out of it. Then it’s like the Biblical Red Sea crashing down on me. If I was angry at the start, I sort of “pick it up” again when the shutdown crashes.
Tossing this out to the #actuallyautistic tags to get more answers for ya!
