Anonymous asked: i've never been formally diagnosed with autism as far as i know, but i fit many of the characteristics both in childhood and now. but i feel lately i am getting even worse in being able to think, move, and even speak. i am getting so scared and i don't know what to do.

This may have some information useful to you:

Also look into autistic catatonia and see if it seems to fit.  Be aware that researchers into autistic catatonia tend to focus on the motor part and be unaware there are sensory and cognitive parts (as reported by people who actually have it) too.  And anything by Martha Leary and Anne Donnellan on “movement differences” in autism (they’ve written two books) will have potentially useful information – their definition of movement includes thought, memory, etc. as well as physical movement.

There may be more recent resources on autistic burnout, too.  I don’t know.
