I'm putting this in DD because I don't want troll comments.

So yesterday I experienced something quite odd after waking up from napping. I looked at my laptop (I have it sitting on a table by my bed because I can't fall asleep without some sound on it) and the stream I had open was going at a much greater speed than normal. That may have been the computer trying to catch up with the stream as some bad computers can't handle the task of keeping up with a 720p60 stream.
At any rate, everything I did or watched for the following few minutes was going at a slightly greater speed than normal. Say time is relative to 1x, then what I was seeing was going at 1.1x.
I've been reading a tiny bit on it and it seems like some people experience the same thing and it's often linked to autism or some other mental disorders. It's not always linked to lack of sleep or nurturement, but that seems to be a common nomer for people experiencing this.

I was just wondering if other people on the forum have experienced the same thing or something very similar and want to share. I also want to know more about this subjects so if you know a fair bit about it, I'd like to hear.

I get the same thing. It used to terrify me when I was little. People used to suddenly start speaking very quickly. I didn't know what was going on. You know it could just be that autistic people are more sensitive to the fourth dimension.

Because you're experiencing this while watching digital video, which has always been and always will be susceptible to data rate errors, i'm not sure you're experiencing anything out of the usual. Now if everything around you and people talking in real life is sped up like that, then yeah you might have some sort of issue.

Digital media has always been like this. Videos and music have a specific rate at which they flow to allow the brain to believe that it is real time. It is possible to change the frame rate or the bit rate of a music file and make it sound and feel different. To anyone, not just people on the spectrum.
Much like how and LED doesn't stay on constantly. It flashes at a rate faster than the eye can detect. Place a camera looking at the LED with a specific FPS, and it will show that the LED is indeed flashing because the FPS rate can't keep up with the flashing.

My first thought, at least with the video was that you some how accidentally just changed the playback speed (which is possible on YouTube). Speaking on your experience beyond the videos, what if your body was in a depressed state (not depression but not working at 100%) for so long that your normal was actually .9. Maybe the sleep you got was very effective (this isn't about lack of sleep but quality) and bumped you up to a 1 (average human level)?

It was on Twitch and it was live. But I think Rockman described it best, I think I was tricked by how the stream was trying to catch up (due to computer being slow) and from there I thought I saw everything faster. It hasn't happened since, although I am having trouble with watching timers as I think the seconds are going faster (they are definitely not).

The brain calculates passage of time as if it's a sense. It is possible for this portion of the brain to act up. Some people feel like time is slowed when they are high on weed.
I always feel like time is flying by when i'm drunk or near drunk.

I haven't experienced it since that night, but the subject still intrigues me. It's difficult to point out exactly what caused it, but in my case it's highly likely it was my autism.

I might talk to my doctor about it at my next appointment, though I doubt he'd know much about it. I'll possibly go to a psychiatrist aswell.
