I particularly like this paragraph from my DX report....

With your tiredness, do you fall asleep a lot?  But not like a normal falling asleep feeling, like everything just shuts down asleep and it's almost painful trying to fight it and stay awake?  

No - the tiredness is more in the moment when I have a strong urge to get away from people. But I do get the "painful to stay awake" feeling when I'm expected to give eye contact in a conversation that goes on for more than a minute or two.

I tend to freeze up more in situations that I just want to get away from people, if I can’t just walk off that is.  The tiredness I get is like completely shutting down.  I can be sat at work, or in a meeting, or all through college it happened, and before I know it everything would start shutting down.  It’s almost painful.  And embarrassing.  And mega annoying.  They said at my assessment it’s my reaction to constantly masking and dealing with everything.  I think it’s an adhd thing as well.
