I have days where I am able to carefully calculate my words. I feel completely in control and if I am not sure what is about to come out of my mouth is appropriate for the current situation then I don't say anything at all. I seem to blend in with they rest of society the way I would like too. So in a since, yes I have days where I don't feel the struggle of "is what I am saying okay?". People respond to me positively and I do not feel a cycle of paranoid and self degradation like tendencies that I sometimes fall into. I am able to express what I feel in an appropriate manor and people understand. But one little thing can throw this off and usually by the next morning I am back on my usual self. That's why I sought out this community of awesome people!
I feel exactly the same way some days. Some days it seems my social skills are at a higher level and I can talk the ears off a rabbit. It may have something to do with who I am dealing with at the moment and how comfortable I feel around them.
Perhaps I should take it from a different perspective;
I don't always feel as an aspie... I pretty much feel "me". It's when I compare it to other people and actively try to interact with others, where I notice how I'm not like them. How I'm having a different take on things, how I understand things differently, and how I interact differently.
I think my AS is gone... pretty much every time I'm on my own and it rears it head when other people are involved; social etiquette, expectations and such... and given that I rarely interact with others and am more on my own (or with other aspie friends who have their own peculiarities), my aspieness, in regards to how society perceives it, isn't prevalent, unless I'm "out there".
