Watching a movie

yeah, it's new person in the area stuff, I moved to a new area about 3 months ago, and all anyone did was stare at me, uh like they'd never seen a human before and that went on for ooh about a month or so, all the attention is because of your newness, so you hafta wait for that to settle and then...well it's just the usual annoyances. Just try to be polite and smile, you'll drift back into the background when they don't see you as new.

Great that you were able to get some input from your psych support.
I hope you are right. Don't get me wrong, it is a lovely place, I used to live in the city, this is more country side, it is like living in a resort, but in a resort I could put those 'don't disturb' signs in my door, here I can't, people feel entitled to knock freely.
But I think that 2 things will happen: this thing you said, I will stop being new and they will lose interest; and also, they won't be new for me any longer, and I won't feel so uncomfortable. I will be more used to this place's routine. Right now, it seems it is too alive and it never stops.
I just found an article talking about autistic burnout, or autistic regression, and I think that that is what is happening to me. I am temporally losing some skills, I am regressing, because I am burnt out. The amount of change I had to put up with, the amount of time I had to be social, the few chances to be by myself, it all led me to this state in which we lose the most basic skills.
