There is a time for everything!
Spent the whole morning to finish a document in Writer. Just want to close something else and hit the wrong cross, stupid…I know.
I have auto-recovery on for 10 minutes, but closing with the cross isn’t a crash of course.
Can I still find the autosaved document somewhere, or do I have to rack my brains again to produce an equivalent document?
I do have the initial document saved, but my latest additions not (but perhaps with autosave)

If there are pending changes and you close the document window, a dialog pops up asking if you want to save. Did this dialog appear? If no, then you had no change in your document.
This only way not to have this dialog is to force quit Writer with a special OS command or key combination. This usually changes the cursor to some special icon warning you that you will kill the app.
You didn’t mention your OS name and LO version.
Hi,
Thanks for answering.
I’m running on W10. Can’t remember if there was a dialog appearing. I just hit the close button upper right corner by accident, I don’t think the system asked me something.

What Iam trying to find out if the autosaved documents can be opened somehow.
Autosaved document (if existed; it is “autorecovery information” saved in the backup directory configured under Options|LibreOffice|Paths) was autoremoved when you closed without saving. You only can hope to be able to restore with some “unerase” low-lever recovery tools. E.g., see [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete AOO/LO temporary files (View topic) • Apache OpenOffice Community Forum
Thank you all for the help. I have decided to write it all anew.
By the way, does anyone know how to code the vulgar fraction “one-third”.
Greetings,

Never mind the vulgar fraction. Found it!
