Erratic cognition

We often talk about our illness/medication related cognitive problems, with good reason. I’d like to raise the issue of erratic cognition.

#ASD #ActuallyAutistic I’m very good at some things and significantly worse at others. I can go from being semi brilliant one day to utterly mediocre the next day. Is that an autistic thing? I honestly don’t know. Do any of you with just sz/sz-a/psychosis experience that?

I mean, I do at varying times. Off of meds and psychotic and I’m stopping mid-sentence and looking off into an abyss only I can see. I’ll do that often, and weave in some delusional talk, but I don’t feel that foggy thinking feeling that comes with meds. On meds, like I am now, I feel foggy like I’m trying to figure out each word and where it goes in the sentence while trying to weave a continuous thread. It’s frustrating. Where before I was halting mid-sentence, now I don’t but I have a harder time reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Does this even make sense? Now I’m doubting myself just by talking about it, LOL.
