Some of this sounds so much like some of ME/CFS.
When you have both, how do you discern which effect is from which cause?

Why High Masking Autistics Experience Burnout
Jul 19, 2024 #autistic #autism #autisticburnout
What is autistic burnout, and why does it need to be understood better by everyone? Will all autistics experience it? Today I'm here to tell you more about autistic burnout and its impacts on mental health. I'll also include some ideas to help you before and during burnout to help support your needs based on research and my own experiences. Please remember: Autism looks a bit different for every autistic person since we're all unique, so the experiences and ideas of what works during burnout may vary greatly based on the individual. If you've experienced autistic burnout, what helped you? Drop your thoughts and questions in the comments!
If you have an autistic friend, family member, or loved one, are autistic and struggle with how to support your own needs, or are simply interested in learning more, this video has something for you. I'll provide the unique perspective of someone who is an autistic ADHDer and also an educator. We want to help people better understand autism and ADHD and support one another as well with the goal of improving communication and life in general for all of us in a neurodiverse world.
