I live on my own, but get support 15 hours a week from social services. I enjoy living on my own, but it is exhausting, and I stay with my parents at the weekends.
By Friday I can't leave the house because I feel so tired. I get anxious about going to bed on my own, so stay up too late and then I oversleep. I used to volunteer at Barnados on Fridays, but can't do this anymore. Now I can only manage volunteering at Age Uk and my part-time working from home job.
Is it normal for someone with AS to find living on their own so tiring?
